- sxp 6y agoMy recommendation is the Lenovo Duet: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/student-chromebooks/Lenovo-CT-X636/p/ZZICZCTCT1X https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/student-chromebo... It's a Chromebook/Android Tablet hybrid for $300. It's now my primary ereader and "laptop" when I'm away from home since it has decent Android and Linux support.
- pjmlp 6y agoFor the same price I bought an Asus with Linux almost 10 years ago, which now has a SSD and 8 GB, with a DirectX 11/OpenGL 4.1 capable GPU. Chromebooks keep being overpriced for what they offer.
