But that's really not relevant to the conversation, because then the device is no longer a Chromebook in terms of system/solution. It's just a re-purpose of the hardware, like saying Coke is a good cola because the bottles can be used as plant watering devices.

You can. Many folks replace the storage device in their Chromebook, and/or augment it with an SD card.

As I wait for the "right" Chromebook for myself, having bought my wife one already, I did "convert" an old Dell Laptop with a 30GB HDD into a Chromebook.

Just to try it out.
Maybe I should try Ubuntu too.
