Another option that I'd personally strongly prefer: Buy an used Macbook Air with M1 CPU (these can be found for 500-600 EUR where I live).
Optionally set up Fedora Asahi Linux on it - macOS is good though. The machine is a beast, I work on it (have 16 GB RAM, but 8 GB is usable too) and am not planning on upgrading for a few more years.
- katzenversteher 3y agoThank you, with all the different Chromebooks around it's a little difficult to choose. Regarding Apple: I've had some really bad experiences in the past with a Mac Mini G4 and an iBook G3, especially regarding customer service and repair and from what I've read the repair situation got even worse now. I expect that the device will be handled a little rough (like I said using it on the couch etc) I'd really worry about breaking a MacBook.
