Only two of the three models will be available in North America, one with an Intel Celeron 2955U processor, and the other with an Intel Core i3-4010U processor. The third model that we won’t be seeing just yet uses an Intel Core i7-4600U processor. The two models we can expect will be arriving for sale beginning sometime in March.

    Easy, remove chrome OS, replace with your preferred version of Linux and use the i3 or i7 model for a <20w web/file/media/minecraft server! Plug it in to power and ethernet in a closet, run it headless, and SSH to it for easy management! :D
