Yes it is, you can even buy laptops with no OS pre-installed or a gnu/linux distro.

Chromebooks are the worst possible thing, I tell everyone to stay away from these crippled google branded piece of slavery.

I advise either a second hand quality laptop or a brand new one while budgeting a little extra for cleaning the crap that manufacturers preload inside to allow for such a low selling price.

Chromebooks are great. I've recommended them to at least a dozen people by now and they are all super happy with them. And free from MITM!

Free from Lenovo's MITM anyway.
