My question is, I just set up my HP Chromebox as a standalone with openelec because I couldn't get the dualboot to work, but now as I set up xbmc I find that I have to be connected to Ethernet cable with no way of finding where I can switch to Wi-Fi. Is this even an option? I am doing this to have TV in a room that I can't run a Ethernet cable. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

the celeron 2955U model w/2GB ram is sufficient for all h.264 content, up to 4K/24p. You might want 4GB ram for Ubuntu but easy enough to add after the fact.

I have the ASUS CHROMEBOX-M004U version and it can play 1080P 8bit encoded videos with no issues at all. I dual boot Xubuntu and OpenELEC with no issues at all as well. I got the non-4K version because I don't see 4K being something to care about for 2 to 3 years from now.

depends on your definition of easy. I'd boot a PartedMagic USB stick, then use the included tools to delete/resize as needed. You'll also likely need to mark the remaining partition as active/bootable.

played with it a bit, removed the write protection and installed stand alone OE
it was running nicely for a few days (connected to sammy tv via hdmi)

took it today to work to show it to some guys that were interested in buying it too, connected to some monitors with DP
i can only see the seabios screen and nothing further, tried to install some linux distros but i can see only the install splash screen booting and nothing further again
parted magic working well and seems that hd and ram are ok

any ideas?

I had the same question, and got the Celeron version, and am 100% happy with it. Love the Chromebox idea so much I got a bigger M.2 SSD, and more ram, so I can play with the Linux OS.

However, I run a standalone OpenELEC version, but would love to add a dual boot with some Ubuntu variant install, once I get a bigger SSD. Human_USB, could you give me some pointers as to how to achieve dual boot with OpenELEC and Ubuntu? I am not a Linux expert, but I am hoping the Ubuntu install will give me an option to install the Grub boot manager, and repartition the drive? Thanks for any help!
