Known Issues

Devices

NOTE

You should probably avoid buying any devices with severe issues, and consider selling if you have one.

Severe Issues

  • Samsung Chromebook 3 (CELES): Numerous hardware bugs that make it difficult to use.
  • Samsung Galaxy Chromebook (KOHAKU): Badly designed hardware, deteriorating trackpad grounding, possibly faulty backlight circuit.

Minor Issues

  • Samsung Chromebox Series 3 (STUMPY): DisplayPort output is non-functional under Windows, and VGA output through the DVI port is non-functional.

Firmware

The issues listed below are longstanding and unlikely to change. The Github Firmware Issue Tracker

  • All ARM-based Chromebooks: The MrChromebox project does not support these devices at all.

  • GeminiLake: Legacy boot mode/alternative firmware menu works but does not show payload list

  • AMD Stoneyridge: Most Stoney Ridge devices do not currently have functional Legacy Boot Mode due to bugs in Google's firmware.

  • AMD Cezanne: Legacy Boot Mode/Alternative Firmware menu works, edk2 boots, but screen backlight is off. Will hopefully be fixed in next Google fw update (fingers crossed).

NOTE

For known issues relating to OS support, see the chrultrabook documentation.
