Lol didn't think my simple question would create this much discussion For what it's worth, I think getting TDM working on newer Chromebooks would be awesome (actually I don't see why it wouldn't work on the Chrunbuntu install at least if anyone tried, Crouton runs on top of the modified ChromeOS linux kernel - not sure how this affects things). I'm not thinking of buying one right now, just writing a blog post about them. I have an old Dell M1330 with 2.4Ghz T8300 CPU (& GeForce 8400M GS) that I have played TDM on @1280x800, and while it won't win any speed freak awards, it's still playable (maybe not all missions lol..). The 2955U seems to be reasonably close in terms of CPU power - http://cpuboss.com/c...l-Celeron-2955U . Not sure how those Intel HD graphics compare. Bikerdude - with Crouton you should be able to run a majority of offline Linux apps (hardware restrictions notwithstanding) and some older Windows apps via WINE without forking out extra cash to MS for a Windows 8 license. You can also switch back to Chromebook mode with a key combination. Chromebooks with Core i3 (i3-4005U with Intel HD 4400) are just starting to appear now - http://www.tomshardw...e2a73dc9630952
