Does any one know?  Just curious.  It's Chrome OS btw, not the Chrome browser. :smileyhappy:

No.  Chrome OS is compiled for specific hardware.

 

Chromium OS (What Chrome OS is based on) is open source and you can download it and compile it yourself for the x120e if you want.  It supports x86 architecture so it should work.  You'll probably need linux drivers for the AMD Fusion chipset, wireless, etc
