Acer C720 $200 Haswell Laptop Fri Jan 24, 2014 9:59:23 PM#289466Perm Link
I'm probably going to pick up the Acer C720. It is a Chromebook with Intel Haswell hardware (meaning, x86).
It is easy to get Ubuntu (or Kubuntu) on it and turn it into a fully workable PC. It is thin and light and for $200, you really can't go wrong.
I'll probably do a guide/review on it. I'm going to Best Buy tomorrow to check it out. There's no benefit to ordering on Amazon or the like since it is the same price and I have to pay NJ sales tax, regardless.
2014 is going to be a good year. More content, more streamlining. Be a part of history!
