Couple this with the lack of support for many book formats and it's clear that there's no reason to stick with Chrome. So, I'm retiring my C720.

When Black Friday rolls around, I'll get a new Windows laptop in the $100-$150 range.

Adios, Chrome
The battery is replaceable:

Also a charging cord would not be very expensive I imagine.
Really like my Acer C720 and it is humming along nicely. You can easily enable legacy boot and boot into Linux on that model. GalliumOS could also be installed on it.
