The Chromebook 2 will always have a special place in my heart.
When I was transitioning into software development, I had ~$1000 left in my bank account, but the consultancy I had just landed an internship with asked me to provide my own laptop, so figuring the compatibility would be decent, I forked out roughly $450 for a Toshiba Chromebook 2 and a new emmc drive. Developed on that thing for a over a year running Ubuntu and later GalliumOS.
The screen is still better than my ThinkPad. Unfortunately, I spilled water on the keyboard at some point, but it pulled double duty as a travel laptop for a year or so after retirement as my daily driver.
