This Chromebook has had its firmware protection removed and a full UEFI BIOS flashed, making it function just like a normal PC. That means you can install virtually any operating system you want.
I originally did this project to demonstrate that you can install Umbrel onto an external drive and use a Chromebook as a fully functional Umbrel node. You can see my initial test video here:

A complete step-by-step walkthrough is coming soon. I currently have multiple units available, and I’ll also be offering a fully configured, plug-and-play kit in the near future.
Specs on this unit:
• CPU: Intel N4020
• RAM: 4 GB
• Storage: 32 GB eMMC
*includes power supply
*note these are used units and have some scratches or cosmetic imperfections but are fully functional*
