I deleted ChromeOS apon getting this and installed Debian Linux so I'd have more control & programming tools. I figured it'd be fine since I mainly develop web apps. Either way, yeah it works ok. From a hardware standpoint, there's no way to upgrade ram or storage, but the SD card slot is helpful. The battery does last quite a while, the screen is nice especially since with the stylus it has pressure detection making it pretty good for drawing. Oh one more thing: if you intend on installing Linux, GO WITH A VERY LIGHT DISTRO. I use Debian with AwesomeWM and it works fine. And it seems like to get it to boot anything but Chrome you have to hit Ctrl+L on the "Os verification off" screen for legacy boot.
