1. The link provided points to a Costco listing for an ASUS Chromebook with an Intel Celeron N4020, priced at 50 dollars, though it appears discounted to around 69 dollars. It mentions the screen quality and the available 128 GB SSD space. This model is considered a solid laptop but may be considered expensive compared to regular prices. It’s also noted as a good option when on sale for about 200 dollars or less. The question is whether it offers good value now or if it might become outdated soon due to lack of updates.
2. Another ASUS Chromebook from Costco is listed at 3,000 dollars, currently on sale for 2,500 dollars or less. It features a touchscreen but lacks the processor and SSD space of the previous model. It’s described as almost as good as the first one but with a weaker Celeron chip and smaller SSD capacity.
3. A Lenovo Chromebook priced at 9 dollars is available on sale for 1,69 dollars or less. It has a touchscreen, but the reviewer prefers an ASUS model. The SSD space is adequate, though the processor is weaker than Intel Celeron in the previous models.
4. A Lenovo Chromebook with 64 GB of storage and an EMC Arctic Grey screen is listed at 60 dollars, currently discounted to 50 dollars or less. The reviewer notes it has a fuzzy touchscreen and suggests avoiding it unless the processor issue becomes a problem later.
5. An ASUS Chromebook with 32 GB of storage and an EMC Silver screen is on sale for 14 dollars. It appears to have decent specs similar to the previous models, though the reviewer is unsure if it supports 1080p resolution.
6. A Lenovo Chromebook priced at 500 dollars is available on sale for 2,50 dollars. It features a Ryzen 3 processor and 4 GB of RAM, which seems to be a premium option despite the lower price. The reviewer questions whether it’s worth the investment due to limited RAM.
The top models I've noticed are the Samsung Chromebook Plus and ASUS Chromebook Flip. For video, I prefer the convertible or tablet versions because they work well compared to a regular laptop. Both are available used in excellent condition for about $200. The build quality and screen in both are very good. I've owned both without any issues.
ACER Spin is also okay but when comparing, Samsung and ASUS stood out more in build and screen quality, even though it's less expensive.
I'm using the Acer 314 chromebook I received for £169, featuring an Intel Pentium Silver processor, a 1080p display, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and 64 GB of storage. I would recommend it if you're looking for something similar. If you have any options, please share a link so I can check them out.
