Well, I'm a convert to affordable Chromebook 'laptops' for quick easy convenient
general purpose net surfing..

Better than tablets and mobile phones, and none of the PITA of microsoft..

Mine are Lenovo N22 - manufactured aimed at schools,
so they are sturdy durable construction.

The only real disadvantage with chromebooks is they come with a fixed date for becoming obsolete and no longer provided with system updates.

Approx 5 or 6 years.

Mine are due to stop updating within the next 12 months.

This is important to know if tempted by cut price deals.
You must enquire how long they have left for updates.

The hardware should still work for ages after, but without security and system updates.

Maybe they can be hacked for linux ?????

The latest affordable chromebooks are far more powerful and capable tech specs than my dependable little workhorses,
which are starting to slow down and freeze under the strain of 2021 bloated web pages...
