I put Cloudready on a Google Pixel laptop because the original Chromebook OS stopped getting updates. I like it a lot except there are issues related to the laptop when it attempts to upgrade.
I didn't look at the list, but I ran Cloudready from USB on a Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and a Toshiba laptop I have, without issues. Also installed on to a hard disk on the Toshiba and it ran well. I didn't try the offline use after getting apps, but boot up and shutdown worked fine.
I set up Cloudready on a Dell Optiplex 3020 for my parents. They like it and the maintenance I have to do is non existent.<p>Before that I had set up a ASUS CHROMEBOX-M004U. It had gotten too slow, especially with photo viewing and basic internet browsing - definitely unfortunate.
"The main problem I have with Chromebooks is that they are not guaranteed to be supported by Google for more than 6.5 years. " I was seriously interested/engaged in this then stopped there. I thought to myself, if I am still using the same Chromebook in 6.5 years, either an apocalypse occurred or I am so poor that I will have other problems that are more pressing than worrying about Google support.
