It's next to the flash chip. Unscrew it, and the flash chip is read-write. Screw it back in, and the flash chip is read-only.
It's called the screw.

+ It's merely a coincidence that libreboot can support this hardware, with some issues (see sections below).
+ While Google does hire a lot of coreboot developers, it's not the case that these laptops can be used

+ Chromebooks are designed (from the factory) to actually coax the user into using
+ <a href="https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/who-does-that-server-really-serve.en.html">proprietary web services</a>
+ (SaaSS) that invade the user's privacy. Google is even a member of the <i>PRISM</i> program, as outlined
+ by Edward Snowden. See notes about ChromeOS below. The libreboot project recommends
+ that the user replace the default <i>ChromeOS</i> with a less evil distribution.

+ We also use the same argument for the MacBook and the ThinkPads that are supported in libreboot.
+ Those laptops are supported, in spite of Apple and Lenovo, companies which are actually <i>hostile</i>

These systems do not use the GRUB payload. Instead, they use a payload called depthcharge,
which is common on Chromebooks.
