Denicio Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 This seems like the ideal Ultrabook for El Capitan, I hope Wifi is easily replaceable and maybe adding some storage extension of some sort: http://www.neowin.net/news/hp-unveils-the-sleek-new-chromebook-13-with-intel-skylake-processors Thoughts?

The big question to me is whether you will need a USB hard drive or if there is an mSATA slot on the motherboard.

Good hardware, for Chrome OS The HD515 is listed here: https://pikeralpha.wordpress.com/2016/03/25/os-x-10-11-4-build-15e65-and-skylake-graphics-support/ Let's hope it will work by injecting the ID 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/312009-hp-chromebook-13-2016-potential-hack-ultrabook/#findComment-2235252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRacerMaster Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Has anyone tested it and can say that it works? It hasn't been released yet. Core M with HD515 should work fine (2016 rMB uses it). The real question is if the SSD & WiFi card are replaceable. Hopefully coolstar or someone similar gets SeaBIOS or TianoCore working on these.
