I didn't see mention of the screen resolution

Is it a fairly pointless 1376 wide, or something a bit more chunky?

I have to admit I loved the idea of the chromebooks, right up until I started using one (a very nice toshiba iirc) but at the time the inability to do any of the things I actually did, as opposed to the google office stuff - code writing, schematic and PCB cad - and the very limited storage space turned out to be killers; I ended up sticking linux on (natively, not Crouton) which helped a lot but even then storage space was an issue and I had to be careful what I installed.

This unit with a decent sized drive seems worth considering, but I'd probably still be looking at linux conversion.
