Will be good to also know which model and for what.

I have the $200 Asus. I like it. I installed Ubuntu on it. I basically just use it for a portable/travel computer that I could also program on. I can easily pick it up and go skype or browse HN since I don't have an iPad.

$249 ARM Samsung. I'm using crouton for a chrooted Ubuntu when I need to do things in non-ChromeOS land. I code HTML5 and Go stuff on it.

Also a Series 5. I've coded and presented at confs from it.

Yes, I have an original CR-48 and a new ARM Samsung (also running Ubuntu via Crouton).

Dual booting Ubuntu 13.04 on the Samsung ARM Chromebook with XFCE as my window manager. So far it's been working well as a machine to get work done when I'm away from the desktop. I rarely boot into the ChromeOS side, though.
