To reiterate, support is determined entirely and exclusively by the Board Name. Supported devices are listed in the table below, grouped by platform/family, roughly in chronological order. The best resource for running Windows is the ChrUltrabook subreddit (Read the stickied top post!) The best resource for running Linux is the GalliumOS Hardware Compatibility List. Some devices/platforms are better supported under Windows than others. Some devices/platforms are better supported in some Linux distros vs others. The goal is to offer both RW_LEGACY and UEFI Full ROM firmware for all devices wherever possible, so you have the option of dual booting ChromeOS, or liberating your device completely :)Ī device having firmware available (either RW_LEGACY or UEFI Full ROM) does not imply any level of functionality when running an OS other than ChromeOS. In most cases, all of the devices in a given platform/family are supported identically, but sometimes there are outliers (esp with older or newer devices). The chart below provides a full, authoritative list of all ChromeOS devices currently supported by the Firmware Utility Script, the firmware types available for each, and the hardware write-protect method used. The only thing that matters is the name, so use that when determining support in the table below (or for anything else really). Your device's board name is what determines if it's supported or not - not the make, model, CPU, or anything else. The board name is listed at the bottom of both the Recovery Mode and Developer Mode screens, as part of the hardware ID (HWID). What's in a name? All ChromeOS devices have a board/device name, which determines which firmware, OS build, etc a device uses.
