I thought about doing something similar when I first got the Acer Chromebook 710-2487, but as of yet, it seems to be doing fine in it's original form.

Note I did add 2 more GB and chose one with a 320GB HDD. I am well satisfied so far though I have had to work around the Google refusal to copy youtube files which is a practical thing, and the more or less esoteric printer scheme which is not a real bother but does rankle some.
