Surely there are people who bought Chromebooks for college? Or boomers who bought the $245 Chromebook instead of the $285 Win10S manufactured ewaste laptop?
Also probably some folks who bought a Chromebook in bulk from a school for pennies on the dollar.
That's the winning hypothesis, dumpster diving gooners.
Those are cheap and rugged. I bought a reconditioned Chromebook Think Pad for $30. I want to put Linux on it. But I haven't found my 'roundtoit yet.
I snagged a Chromebook back in 2016 and used it for 9 years. It wasn't speedy, but for small time browsing, terminal use (I rooted it and put a real Linux distro in there), and media watching it was just fine.
