With these kinds of really cheap devices, it always makes me wonder whether you are not better off buying older used hardware instead... especially if you are looking for a cheap linux laptop.
For example, some time ago I got a Thinkpad X200 tablet in good condition off ebay for that price. I was mainly interested in the tablet functionality, but it's a nice little laptop that is still usable today.
Even if you are specifically interested in Chrome OS, Chrome OS Flex might be an option on used hardware.

- haunter 4y agoAgreed. I got an i5 Thinkpad x230 from eBay for similar price (~$120) and arguably it's much better in every aspect (probably not in thinness and weight)
- justinhj 4y agoI bought a damaged x230 to restore and play around with. I now use it for all my side projects and outside of work. It’s a really nice size and I love the keyboard.
- haunter 4y agoLove mine too, it's a great notebook. Recently started hunting for a palm rest part with the built-in fingerprint reader, for whatever reason just love that more than using a USB key.
