I have an HP 14 with ubuntu 14.04 on it and was looking what was in
mine and came across this

http://www8.hp.com/us/en/ads/chromebooks/specs.html

So it appears that they are making a 1080p version with a Tegra K1
which makes me kinda jealous now. The build quality on my HP 14 is
pretty good, so this is something you might want to keep in mind.
