Great post, for those that are planning to upgrade the NVME drive and don't want to purchase a Suzy Q cable, you can also just unplug the battery while you have the cover off. With the battery unplugged, the Google CR50 chip will be disabled and you will be able to use mrchromebox firmware utility scripts to reflash the device.
The screen alone is worth like $100. Great deal.

Only if they come with an unlocked/unlockable bootloader. Most don't unfortunately. I have had no luck installing Windows on a Lenovo 11E v3 for the same reason.
Just buy a PC, time is money messing around with bootloaders. I am still using my OP from 2018 that runs windows 11 and Bluestacks for all the apps I want to use.

What kind of idiot bought a Chromebook to install Windows?

I was about to say if you install Debian or Ubuntu or Arch, then I might forgive you. But Windows? Seriously?

Bottomline, just use it as is, don't mess around with the OS.

sometimes this is half the fun though, some of us are enthusiast and tinkerers. but also a windows version of this probably cost much more than $172, especially with a 120hz screen

the CPU is strong enough, so why not. my personal reason is that i love my mail program (mailbird) which is x86 / OSX only along with some of my other apps

Old chromebook just stopped getting updates. Anyone know how long this model is supported for and how to look it up?
Officially Chromebooks get 10 years of updates:
https://support.google.com/chrome...7166?hl=en

This came out 2 years ago, so you can do the math

Just got mine, and been playing with it:

PROS:
* Display is super nice, bright, feels very sharp, viewing angles are great.
* It's fast - i3 and 8gb do the job nice, very responsive.
* Back-lit keyboard is nice, can change colors in 4 zones, gimmicky.

CONS:
* Keyboard feels crappy - keys are randomly sized and most are slightly smaller than a normal keyboard (to accommodate the 10key of tiny keys which is unusable to me). Coming from MacBook pro 14 and a mechanical keyboard on desktop, it's not my cup of tea.
* Speakers are weak. even at 100% they feel tiny and hollow and even if I can hear, keep wanting to raise it further but can't. I was planning on using this for video calls, so that's a miss. I was hoping top facing speakers will deliver, but no. Watching YouTube is ok, in a quiet room.

Wonder if I could install Win10/11 on this machine. https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...cratchhead.gif
