Coreboot install on an 8th Gen HP Chromebook (forum.chrultrabook.com)

The CPU is quite old and the ports are horrendous.

But that machine has a crazy screen, pretty nice keyboard (actually my first laptop with a numpad ever) and the fan is really silent.

And the install was very easy. Now runs Fedora Kinoite!

Chromebooks, with Linux, not just ChromeOS (the batterylife difference is tiny) are really great for simple office stuff and even media consumption, while being efficient.

My main, 11in Lenovo Chromebook just lost 30% batterylife over a course of 4 hours or more. And it costed 140€!
