I searched for a low priced MacBook Air alternative with retina resolution and found HP Chromebook 13
At 12.95mm/.51in, the amazingly thin and light HP Chromebook 13 provides professionals a simple, secure, and easily managed cloud-based experience. Built for collaboration, this agile performer has a host of accessories1 to help enhance productivity.
Starting at $499.00
I don't wish to use Google spyware (privacy nightmare). In the first few months I wish to use Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment, crouton and later install Ubuntu native.
Is there a an ad blocking mechanism available for Chrome native web browser?
Does crouton work with this device? Will Ubuntu be installable on this device (hardware specs) after a few months (I hope there will be tutorials and howtos)?
I am completely new to Chromebooks, what's your experience with Ubuntu on Chromebooks?
