I'd like a Chromebook to run Linux on, this will be used for light web dev with node, vim, etc.

    I have the Dell Chromebook 13 with an i5/8GB. I upgraded the SSD to 256GB and have had a pretty good experience with it. I use it with chrx. I am sure it is overkill for the task, but I wanted to have a capable machine if needed for larger tasks.
