Acer c720 Chrombook

I'm running live. I have not installed to this laptop.

1) 32 or 64bit? 32 bit works out of the box. 64 bit works with a different kernel.
2) can you boot to the desktop? Yes
3) what works OOTB? - everything, although the chromebook keyboard special keys act as function keys. the search key is the Super Key.
4) what doesn't work OOTB? 64 bit iso will not get past boot loader screen. Just automatically reboots. I'm using a custom snapshot iso with the 4.2.3 liquorix kernel and a custom keyboard shortcut file to remap the "special" keys to more obvious functions. Touchpad is a little muddy. Using a custom 50-c720-touchpad.conf to make a few adjustments.
5) Comments (short) - Only running live on this system. Have not tried installing. Chromeos needs to be put into developer mode for usb boots to work.

HP x2 10-n054a Detachable laptop

1) 64-bit MX on 64-bit processor with 32-bit UEFI only.
2) Live boot to desktop fine. Installed boot a problem. Now OK with 'nomodeset' cheat.
3) Basically OK OOTB (see 4)
4) No audio, no network. Fix in prospect for network (kernel patch yet to be tested). Audio fix looks doubtful.
5) Decided to classify this as laptop rather than netbook. Nice machine to handle, OK as Win8 (if you like that) and runs MX-15 in VBox on Win8 OK. Definitely a struggle to install MX and still a work-in-progress.
