How does it run on the x230? With which specs? Android and Linux subsystems are working?

Android isn't working on Neverware. Linux (crostini containers) and crosh both work.

x230 is some old i5, 100GB SSD and some RAM. Battery is still OK and getting replacement battery for Thinkpad is no hassle.

It works all right and the keyboard is a dream.

Damn, the Android side is the thing I'm interested the most (for dev purposes, not as an user)
Thanks.

Looks like my old MacBook Air (model 6,2) is not supported, but its 11" variant (6,1) is. I'll give it a try when I return home from the holidays.

Don't worry about supported by Neverware. Mine Mac Pro also isn't supported last time I checked. But it works flawlessly.
I just found it curious that they would officially support the 11" and not the 13"
That just means that Neverware tested CloudReady on 11" but not 13". Similarly, the Mac Pro isn't officially supported because Neverware decided, quite rightly, that few people are going to run Chrome OS on a high-end Apple desktop.
