These Acer C720, also called Chromebook, have been sold for around 200 Euro.
I've bought two of them, and later one more as 2nd hand for half of this
price. They could not boot any other OS, like Linux or FreeBSD, only
CHromeOS. But the work of Michael and other made them to a general
purpose netbook. Something in this direction I'm hunting for.
