Are there even any x86 Chromebooks left at that price point? They are only one that are still capable of chrooting into Linux. ARM Chromebooks remain locked up.
- mattnewton 7mo agoThere were a bunch of intel atom ones IIRC. I got my degree with a used EEEpc with one of those.
- xyzzy_plugh 7mo agoAs did I. The most unbelievable part is that we used that tiny keyboard.

- toast0 7mo agoLooking at BestBuy, category chromebook, the first one that comes up is $150, intel n4500. I don't know if this is particularly current or what, or if it's easy to setup to run another OS or whatever, but it meets your price and architecture criteria. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/hp-14-chromebook-intel-celeron-n4500-2021-4gb-memory-64gb-emmc-modern-grey/JJGQJQJK9P/sku/6612977 https://www.bestbuy.com/product/hp-14-chromebook-intel-celer...
