How did you make it usable? I personally love restoring and making use out of severely-underpowered hardware and still have an old netbook lying around, so I’m curious to hear what you did with yours :o
It was a few years back, but after it hit ChromeOS EOL I’m pretty sure it just got some KDE distro; I don’t think I even used LXDE. Didn’t need to do much.
I was mostly using it for web browsing, forums, spreadsheets, documentation etc. Nothing particularly strenuous.
I did have one really fun time of modifying PDF engineering drawings by opening them in Libre Office Draw which it handled kinda OK.
It did get a 240GB SSD but everything else was soldered.
I got a surprising amount of use out of a similarly configured C720 as a general purpose portable machine.
