Bought it the last time for this price. I love it. Perfect for bringing it places while traveling and not having to worry about damage/losing it due to its price point. I can't complain for what it is.
come back again

Previous thread for this item if anybody is looking for more info:
https://slickdeals.net/f/15860113-lenovo-chromebook-3-11-6-hd-laptop-celeron-n4020-4gb-memory-64gb-emmc-79-free-shipping
I just happen to see the other thread. My guess would be because of the $20 difference.Confused
Between the 2 chrome book laptops which has the better chipset?

I also notice the $79 model has one extra USB 2.0 & USB-C port.

Also the USB-C port on the $99 model supports up to 1920x1080@60Hz.

The $79 one supports up to 4096x2160@60Hz.

Quote from Sinatics :
I picked this up yesterday and successfully got Linux running on it today. Note that it's NOT a super straightforward process but I'll leave enough here for those interested in this Chromebook for Linux.

A couple of notes..
1. Developer Mode must be enabled for any of this to work.
2. This Chromebook does NOT support the ChromeOS "Beta Linux" feature from within ChromeOS.
3. This Chromebook is using a Gemini Lake Intel CPU -- What does that mean? TL;DR is that Chromebook devs broke Legacy Boot for Gemini Lake so the only way you can boot USB on these machines is via UEFI (which isn't a huge issue, just something to know because most guides will try to tell you to use legacy boot but this chromebook doesn't support that.)
4. This Chromebook uses CR50 write protection, disabling CR50 write protection (which is required to flash a bios that can boot USB from UEFI) REQUIRES OPENING THE LAPTOP CASE, DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY, then disabling write protection via mrchromebox's firmware script.

So.. If you're comfortable with all that, here are the links to get you going, note I'm intentionally not writing out a step by step guide because I don't want someone getting in over their head on this.
https://wiki.mrchromebox.tech/Fir...Protection
https://wiki.mrchromebox.tech/Supported_Devices (device code for this laptop is LICK)
https://mrchromebox.tech/#fwscript

Once you've got the firmware flashed for USB UEFI boot you should be able to write whatever Linux image you want to a MicroSD or USB drive and boot from it. I picked Ubuntu and it's working great.
Thanks for the notes. By working great I take all hardware is supported? Does fast charging to the laptop and from the laptop usb3/usb-c ports (thinking about charging my phone from the laptop so I just need to bring the laptop charger for travel) work as they should?

Is the performace with default gnome window manger tolerable? Or it is recommended to switch to something like xfce4 instead?

I've not tested fast charging but most the hardware appears to be working under Ubuntu natively. I just tested the camera in Discord, looks like the built in mic might require a bit to get working. Only other nits are that the function keys for screen brightness, volume, etc are bound to F1 - F12 by default but you can re-bind these to the functions on the key faces within ubuntu with a little effort.

I'm running Ubuntu Budgie and resource wise it's pretty happy. XFCE4 should run decently but honestly I'd just try it out in a live usb mode and see how it works before committing to any specific UI.
