Had a chrome book that worked just fine but unbeknownst to me had an expiration date that started counting down at its date of manufacture, not the date of purchase.

The thing worked great, but no more security updates after 3 years.

it can be relatively easy to get linux in chromebooks, i love them

i bought an Acer CB311 intel (x86) second hand for half the price and put linux on it like 4 years ago, it was my main computer until last year my dog knocked a glass of water next to it (it's alive but i messed up the screen and keyboar using the blow drier)

after that i bought a new acer CB314 (arm cpu) and have been really happy with it

longest baterry lives ive seen and they are perfect for some light development
