[Nottingham] samsung chromebook

[Camilo Mesias]

I like the sound of power management as my netbook runs fast but very
hot with Linux. I've also recently spent £329ish on a netbook that
runs Windows and the user is complaining of speed compared to the
previous machine (first gen Acer Aspire One!). I'm not sure why I
opted for that instead of a Chromebook, I think connectivity to other
devices was an issue.
