Dell Chromebook 13 (Triple Boot - MacOS/Ubuntu/Windows 10)

It's aliiiiiive!

Hardware:

  • Laptop model: Dell Chromebook 13 7310
  • CPU: i5-5300U
  • GPU: Intel HD Graphics 5500
  • RAM: 8GB
  • SSD: 256GB SSD (Swapped in)
  • Wifi/BT Card: Dell DW1560 (Swapped in)

What's working:

  • Almost everything!

What's not working:

  • Touchscreen (Haven't tried but unlikely)
  • Keyboard backlight adjustment - turns off after sleep (Haven't tried to fix this yet)

I'd been wanting to give this a shot for a while now and this whole quarantine thing finally gave me the time! To my surprise, I got it going quite a bit quicker than I'd expected to and it works very well.

The trackpad isn't 100% perfect but it is still very good and all gestures work properly. The only problem is the slowest setting is a sliiiightly too slow and one step up is way too fast. Also, clicking and dragging doesn't release until you fully remove your finger from the trackpad.

The battery seems to be draining somewhat quickly but I'll need to use it more to say for sure.
