[Mesa-users] Installation of MESA on Chrome OS

[amber lauer]

I concur with Jon Brase, though whether or not it's worth it to do this
certainly depends on the model you have. Some models have very low powered
processors that barely improve on a cell phone. In that case I wouldn't
recommend it. The pixel book is certainly up to the task, the newest model
has a core i7. However, even the two highest end chromebooks below this,
the samsung and the hp both have available only a pentium or core m3. I'm
not sure those are powerful enough. However,

mesa-web <http://mesa-web.asu.edu/>

is still a great option.
