Chromebook (?)

[Jake White]

Do any of you use a chromebook? I ask because I'm looking at Samsung's dedicated chromebook.

I wanted to know whether I'd be able to:
a) play FLAC files
b) output digital/bipass the internal DAC through a USB port
c) expand the size of the hard drive or use an external disk

Anyone have any ideas or alternatives within a very very cheap price range? This is meant to be a bare-bones source component for music, but it's gotta be portable.

a)

I picked up a Samsung Chromebook yesterday and can confirm that it plays FLAC music files stored on a USB drive.  I plugged in my thumb drive, opened up the file manager, browsed to a stored album, clicked on track and it played without issue.

c)

Connect the external device to your Chromebook, then click on the apps list button apps list button and select Files to open the file manager.

You're buying a Chromebook but you don't want to Google?
