sq34k Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hi I do not know if this topic has been raised before but I was watching an old episode of hak5 where Darren had a really small netbook with a sticker on the back saying all calls are monitored for quality assurance, I would like to know what system this was ans also is it linux compatible.

i8igmac Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 (edited) I was thinking a chromebook with intel chip. I don't see any one talking about them here. my wife has one with a intel chip. I have been itching to fire up linux. I have read its hardware works out of the box. They are cheap. The toucch sccreen might perform well with gnome shell3 and will give it a greate tablet style user interface... Long battery life.

The intel ones do work with e.g Gallium OS(which is ubuntu + the necessary chromebook drivers). (use it myself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forkish Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Ive got two acer 11’s CB3-131-C3SZ.i’ve piddled around with linux on them but never balls to the wall. Love them, lightweight, ips screen, 9-11 hr battery. Plus you can odten get them at or just above $120. I’ve got my eBay eye open for a good price on an acer Chromebook 14 CB3-431-C5FM or a Acer Chromebook 11 C740 which you can swap out the HD for a 128 or 256 SSD. check out http://www.fascinatingcaptain.com/product-reviews/best-chromebooks-for-linux/ for some 2016 information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
