I'm using the Samsung Chromebook Pro, which is getting a bit old itself. While I like the stylus and the screen, I can't wholeheartedly recommend the device -- while it might come further down in price soon, with Samsung apparently prepping a new ChromeOS 2-in-1 [0], it still doesn't have Linux apps outside of Crouton. My understanding is that Crostini requires some code that's only available in the 4.x kernel, and -- unlike the ARM-based Chromebook Plus -- the Chromebook Pro uses the 3.x kernel. I'd heard rumors of backports last year, but they haven't materialized. And, in ChromeOS, I sometimes have random reboots, and UI bugginess when I switch aspect ratios or between laptop and tablet mode.
