I have an older chromebook, and i want to know if i can do something with it to get to be a normal laptop. Can i open it up and replace stuff in it?

Basically i want to install at least 2gb of ram in it and put ubuntu on it, can i do this? Or can i use it as my bar-bones laptop if i want to build a new one?

Thanks!

As unksol said, no one can access those pics - unless we have an account on the other forum. You need *at least* to give the model #, I would think it is somewhere on the net book, probably a tag on the bottom.

I'm just gonna guess no. Chromebooks really don't have that much power because they're made to just browse the internet. Despite additional RAM I would guess the CPU is too weak for real processing.
