      I have one. It’s one of the higher end deals from a couple years ago (for a chrome book). I have been excited to work on it every time I’ve seen something like this posted.

      I CAN’T FIND IT! Gaaaaah.

      I seen the damn thing a thousand times. I wasn’t looking for it. Now? Gone. Nowhere.

      Does this shit happen to anyone else?

            I was thinking about getting an ARM chromebook to do this, cuz the Pinebook seemed like a good idea, but seemed underpowered. There are some nice ones like the Acer Chromebook 14 with the Kompanio ARM chip, but unfortunately no one is making custom firmware for ARM based chromebooks right now. Hopefully someone will at some point. Would be nice to have a power efficient passively cooled laptop. I think some of AMD laptops with their U series chips are pretty efficient.

      You need to make sure first that the MrChromebox.tech uefi firmware works with the chromebook model you are going to buy. Otherwise, you will just end up with an old chromebook.
