Google's First Chrome OS Laptop Preview

Yep, easiest root ever! After the root, you can switch VTs with Ctrl+Alt+[2, 3, 4] or get back to the browser with Ctrl+Alt+1.

But the question is: what do you lose in the process since the instructions say it wipes the storage clean, or is that not quite true?

Guess I should just wait till I get one, if that happens. Kinda sucks being left out yet again but, maybe someday I'll get chosen for such programs when I apply.
 
Updated specs after rooting it and doing some lspci etc:

CPU: Atom N455 @ 1.66ghz, single core
RAM: 2GB
Video: Intel Pineview Integrated Graphics Controller

Thanks for this. Very useful information.
