Hi, I won't be able to make it there today, but I would be interested in this Chromebook, if you are still interested in getting rid of it. Thanks!

Am giving away a Toshiba CB30-B3122 Chromebook 2 device of unknown origin that I found laying around outside maybe a year ago or less. Unknown origin meaning that I can't determine its history or what's been loaded onto it, other than mentioning that it's definitely been previously used.

Couldn't locate a compatible a/c power adapter that I could use to power up and test this.

Here are some initial websites I found describing this Chromebook 2 and its a/c power adapter:
- CNET's 'Toshiba Chromebook 2 CB30-B3122 - 13.3" - Celeron N2840 - 4 GB RAM - 16 GB SSD' https://www.cnet.com/products/toshiba-chromebook-2-cb30-b3122-13-3-celeron-n2840-chrome-os-4-gb-ram-16-gb-ssd/
- Notebook Ocean's 'Toshiba CB30-B3122 Chromebook 2' https://www.notebookocean.com/toshiba-cb30-b3122-chromebook-2-specs/
- Newegg.com's 'Toshiba Chromebook CB30-B3122 13.3" LED Notebook - Intel Celeron N2840 2.16 GHz' https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834216914

Don't know how or even IF someone could install a Linux distro on this (e.g., by Developer mode?)
Tom L? Others?

Will be trying to get to 85C Bakery later this morning closer to the 12Noon start time of today's BerkeleyLUG meetup and bring this along, just in case anyone is interested in this.  If no takers, then may eventually just eWaste it.

Best,
