Acer CB3-111-C8UB - chromebook.
Celeron N2830 CPU - this CPU is crap, slow. This is a 3+ yr old CPU on performance.

Slow travel computer, with remote access.
Expect the keyboard to die in less than 2 yrs. Keyboard replacement costs $89.
Don't think it can handle Kodi/XBMC playback. The CPU is too slow.

The keyboard feel sucks.
The touchpad sucks.

You can replace ChromeOS for some other Linux and the M.2 SSD can be replaced,
if you void the warranty. I run Ubuntu Server with Openbox WM. Do not expect a
modern GUI to work well on this device.

I have a Acer C720 chromebook that is about 2x the CPU speed of the CB3 and an
Acer A500 Tablet.  I will **never** buy anything from Acer again due to a number
of small issues with these devices that simply drove me crazy.  The issues I had
wouldn't be an issue for Kodi. At least I don't think they would.

This is $99 for a reason.
