01. Hold ESC-Refresh -- tap Power to boot to ChromeOS in Recovery Mode --
Press CTRL-D to enter Developer Mode and disable verification --- allow ChromeOS wipe ~5mins
02. Login to ChromeOS via google credz and establish WIFI connectivity with ur router. - shutdown Chromebook -- disconnect Power
03.Take apart bottom half and disconnect Battery - leave off and reconnect Power cable only to Chromebook-- boot into ChromeOS (This will disable "Write Protect" mode)
04.Launch Chrome Browser then press Ctrl-ALT-T to launch a Terminal
05. Type "Shell" to enter shell mode and paste the MrChromebox.tech script in there:
cd; curl -LO mrchromebox.tech/firmware-util.sh; sudo install -Dt /usr/local/bin -m 755 firmware-util.sh; sudo firmware-util.sh
06. select Option to install Full UEFI Firmware -- run through the prompts (because i can't remember them all) -- let it do its thing and reboot -- and you should get a coreboot "bunny" logo BIOS
07. Install Windows/Linux as any other x86 PC - through bootable ThumbDrive. - may need to find a Win11 TPM bypass method (with rufus)
08. shutdown and reinstall battery as before and your done.
Only things I dislike (but cannot complain about at the price) wifi chip is horrible. Reception is fine inside the house but as soon as I go into my backyard it refuses to connect. I can walk 3 houses down on my phone and other devices. Again can't complain for the price...
The trackpad feels a bit sensitive, could be a lot better, but not too big an issue.

I had this same processor/ram/storage combo in a pixel chromebook that I used for a year. ChromeOS is so efficient it absolutely is as smooth as butter with specs like this. 8gb ram is also perfect for it and you'll never run short.
Only issue is some Android apps don't work all that well on x86 cpus.
Google Docs and Chrome run about as well in ChromeOS as any OS, and probably better than most. Really thinking of getting one of these for an extra fam laptop.
Edit: OOPS nevermind. I was confusing this for the 2-in-1 touchscreen model. This is NOT touchscreen or 2-in-1.

EDIT: Best Buy waited 7 days to ship it via OnTrac. To OnTrac's credit, they got it to me in 2 days.
