Ha, you beat me to it! https://wiki.freebsd.org/FreeBSD/arm/Chromebook

I bought a refurb Acer C720 4gb and have found it perfect for everyday tasks / general use with Ubuntu installed.

I haven't been able to find the 4gb model, where did you get it?

Not the GP, but I was able to pick up a new 4gb model from the Acer online store a few weeks ago (the Canadian store - I don't think Acer is selling it new in the US anymore).

If you're unable to find one I believe the new Dell Chromebook 11 is fairly similar.

Marginally relevant - are ARM Chromebooks any good for development? I've been considering getting a Samsung Chromebook 2 when it comes out, but I'm concerned that important software won't be available for ARM.

Anyone running crouton on an ARM Chromebook care to comment?
