LXer: Samsung's A15 Chromebook Loaded With Ubuntu Is Crazy Fast
Published at LXer:
Google recently launched the Samsung Chromebook that for $249 USD features an 11-inch display, a 16GB SSD, a promise of 6.5-hour battery life, and is backed by a Samsung Exynos 5 SoC. The Samsung Exynos 5 packs a 1.7GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 processor with ARM Mali-T604 graphics. With using this new ARM Cortex-A15 chip plus the Samsung Chromebook not being locked down so it can be loaded up with a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or openSUSE, it was a must-buy for carrying out some interesting Cortex-A15 Linux benchmarks. The Exynos 5 Dual in this affordable laptop packs an impressive performance punch.
I have been looking at getting the Samsung Chromebook. I've decided to go back to school to study computing @ Arizona State University, and my 17" H-P Notebook is just too big to carry around.
Is there a Linux image out there that I can d/l and burn to SD Card or USB stick?
You can write isos to flash media and newer laptops should be able to boot from them. They have to be isos made for USB sticks. For example: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
