For those interested in continuing with TK1 development, I've gotten Ubuntu working on the Acer CB5-311 notebook,
this one.
Using
this script and the regular chrubuntu instructions it was pretty straight forward to get up and running.
Got the CUDA examples building and running locally. It's nice having a portable development so students can work on the same platform as running on the robot.
Quick Edit: This was entered on a CB5-311
