I am looking for a small and cheap laptop to run Linux on. Are there any other good laptops besides the one pictured here? ( It is a Samsung Chromebook 3. Best buy and Walmart recently had them on sale during Black Friday. It has 4gb of RAM, 16gb of ROM, and a micro SD card slot. Built in storage isn't a problem as long as I can put a micro SD card in it.)

Inspiron 11 3000 is pretty nice for the price if you get the 4GB model.

Another option is the latitudes.
E6220 or 6230 is pretty good for the price.

Do you have to install the OS on the micro SD? What the fuck is on the rom?

>as long as I can put a microSD card in it

If you're looking for a chromebook and not a laptop, say so. That said microSD cards are really slow. I can't help here, tho.

I said a laptop because I didn't want to limit the ideas to just laptops with Windows or chrome OS. I honestly don't care what OS it has as long as it can run Linux.
