Arrgh - I didn't need to go even deeper down the rabbit hole! (I did) That Linus Tech Tips video was useful to me - there are a few of those HP Workstations available cheaply here in the UK, some with better i7 processsors. Thanks! The Chromebook situation's a bit different over here though - I don't think the market is anywhere near as big as it is over the the States, as I think your educational set up encouraged them a lot, whereas they haven't here.. I think? Still, plenty of cheap laptops to be had otherwise (I know I'm never going to bother buying a new one again - Second Hand Thinkpads FTW!)

And honestly, don't forget Steam Decks. Refurbished or otherwise. They truly are amazing machines for the price. And a cheap dock to hook up to a TV, keyboard, and mouse. A cheap set of 8bitdo controllers... And you're rocking and rolling. I'm doing a dual-boot into a 128 GB Steam Deck image I found with... many... retro games on it. The website looked like hot garbage and I had to make an account to have access to download... but... very well made image.
