I wonder how a $150 chromebook would compare. $150 is in the territory of "Drive to store and buy in an emergency".

- walrus01 8y agoProbably a lot faster, in terms of cpu and ability to render resource intensive webpages inside firefox v65. But this was also $40 four years ago. Having a normal xubuntu environment does give an advantage of being able to install a much wider variety of software compared to the chromebook OS, unless we're talking about replacing the chromebook OS with debian + xorg + your choice of desktop environment.
