Known Issues
SD card is currently showing as "read only" no matter what position the switch is in. Will need to do some testing to see if the card is done for.
The bottom left rear of the case near the hinge is chipped.
It seems this device has reached the end of it's support period. It will no longer receive security updates. Might want to install some flavor of Linux in its place. Possible candidates are Void Linux, Gallium OS, and Phoenix OS. I guess we're never going to get the Android Play Store on this Chromebook. This site has some helpful information.

For example, Ctrl + 1 activates the first tab in the current window, while Ctrl + 2 activates the second tab. Ctrl + T will open a new tab, while Ctrl + W will close the current tab. Ctrl + L will focus the location bar so you can immediately start typing a new search or website address. Read our in-depth guide to shared web browser keyboard shortcuts for many more shortcuts.
