@nprofile1q... Yeah, was just saying basically that if they could be unlocked that would be a great option (and it's easier to learn than you think.)

I suspect the point is moot. Any semi-modern Chromebooks are locked down as much as an Apple device (albeit sometimes easier to "jailbreak" via exploits.) Google and OEMs realized quickly they could use that to cash in and people weren't fast enough on the draw in telling them no.
