I've been using an Asus Chromebook. I don't have the specs, but it's ~ a year old and was at the higher end of sub $500 pack at the time. I've pretty much given up on using it. I liked to use it for ssh over to my real computer (over wifi) to get work done; but this was always noticeably laggy. Trying to use basic tools on it (zoom, slack) is painfully slow - and if you run two bandwidth-hungry things at once, forget it. I have to jump through hoops to get a decent shell for ssh that Just Works - which sorta means it doesn't Just Work after all. Running anything heavier than the shell is slow. I don't know the specs on the one, but I think I'm done with ARM on anything but phones. At least when them, I don't have any expectation of good performance from applications/sites to begin with.
