I am typing this on the last gen model of this (i3-n305, same otherwise), running Linux Mint. The only thing I wish mine had was a backlit keyboard. Otherwise, I get 8-10 hours of battery life, it runs circles around my old Dell laptop, and even plays Minecraft and Roblox for my daughter without a hiccup. For the price I paid I'm pretty happy.

512GB x4 NVME drive so storage is plenty fast. And chargable USB-C ports on BOTH SIDES so charging is simple and not cumbersome unlike my work laptop which has both on the same side (and only one supports charging).

This is supported by Coreboot for loading alternate operating systems. Mint runs flawlessly, although I did have to apply the audio fix (which was fixed by running a bash script).

References:
https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/doc...vices.html (search for craasneto which is the device boardname)
https://docs.chrultrabook.com/doc...ssues.html (audio fix)

EDIT - this newer model (with the n355) is NOT YET SUPPORTED on Coreboot. It's probably just a matter of time. My apologies for not remembering/recognizing this out of the gate. That said, the 2 devices are almost identical save for the main processor. The newer model benches around 10% faster than the old so not a dramatic speed boost.
