When I go to that page, I only see one product (Chromebook x360); possibly we see different things from different regions? In any case, I've always steered away of ChromeBooks, as I heard they are hard to put FreeBSD on. Is this not true? > Defocusing from HP, whatever you have in mind: Ok.

I'm especially doubtful about the WiFi card: I'm not sure IUIC, but it seems this is not supported out of the box and drivers, while existing, are considered experimental. Am I wrong? > FreeBSD is an unknown, be aware that 13.0-RELEASE can not boot a variety > of computers. A fix will be in 13.1-RELEASE. This is interesting. Is this some sort of regression over 12? Any pointer to some discussion about this? bye & Thanks av.
