Google's Chrome OS isn't available for consumers to install, so I went with the next best thing, Neverware's CloudReady Chromium OS. It looks and feels nearly identical to Chrome OS, but can be installed on just about any laptop or desktop, Windows or Mac. And, although Neverware has paid versions for enterprise and education users, its Home Edition is free for personal use.

Not just for kids; I got this working nicely on an old Lenovo Thinkpad X201.

I also added ChromeReady to an old HP Pavilion D5000 series desktop computer today.
The instance on the Lenovo Thinkpad X201 laptop worked perfectly but the instance on the Pavilion D5000 desktop froze a couple of times; there may be failing or iffy hardware on this desktop; it is pretty old.
