The m3-8100Y remains an outlier in the CPU lineup. The overall takeaway is that for ChromeOS this otherwise oddball CPU works and works well. However, if you're trying to meaningfully compare the performance per dollar to other Chromebooks read on...
The m3-8100Y has one big factor in its favor, in that it is based upon full-fat i-series cores. That's where the good news ends, in part because there are only two (2) cores in this CPU and not four (4). However, adding even more insult to injury is the fact that this is an ultra low power CPU model so, although it is arguably incredibly efficient, the total power limit is a mere 5W. As such this CPU is solidly positioned where almost all dual-core i-series CPUs have sat: just barely above 2- and 4-core Atom CPUs, but well below any of the 4-core i-series CPU options available which make such solid long-term performance options for the last 15+ years(!). Thankfully, though, ChromeOS doesn't haven the same performance needs as Windows and truly thrives on even minimal CPUs like this one.
Additionally, this chromebook is packing a touchscreen (despite the Best Buy documentation to the contrary) and 8GB of RAM at the sub-$200 price. That along with a nice-ish design (bordering on premium but also totally not) makes this a genuine step above the $100 basic education chromebooks. Prior to the recent cratering of the market for chromebooks this would have been a killer deal, the only thing ruining it being that x86 chromebooks with touchscreens have been crashing below their prior $200 price floor for some time. This is certainly a solid chromebook investment given the ability to competently support Android with touch screen support and the availability of 8GB of RAM (which facilitates virtualization such as Linux support). However, there have been some similarly good deals coming through in the last few months that have packed in either years more support with more modern CPUs packing just a bit more performance for a small incremental investment or value choices that deliver more thanenough performance per dollar to rest comfortably with any other associated compromises.
This is a nice deal, but it is also not likely be the last nice deal on a chromebook this year...

1080p IPS panel way better than I expected for the $179 cost, looks close to 300nits. Good contrast and what seems to be a decent sRGB percent, i'd wager something around 60%. Speakers are pretty decent and clear, keyboard types really nice.. case isn't super rigid, but good enough.. Has metal top and metal bottom.. plastic keyboard deck. Performance seems nearly imperceptible to my premium Chromebook with i5 11th gen. For most uses, it will have plenty of power.. I'd recommend it at the $179 price easily, it would make a great daily driver that you won't have to worry about if something happens to it/it breaks, etc.

Nice price for a decent Chromebook, BUT it only receives Chrome updates through 6/2026
Yeah, because it's been around a few years I think already, but I think it'll still be in a good spot in 2026, there will be a lot of ChromeOS development for the next 3 years.
Thanks for this. I have been mildly interested in upgrading my current Chromebook as I could use a bigger screen and backlit keyboard. This fits the bill, eith a bigger screen and backlit keybioard, and seems to have a better processor, twice the ram, and will get updates for 3 more years than my current Chromebook. At under $200 this seems like a steal and I wonder why it's not getting more love.
Even free shipping for me not watning to spend 5-10 minutes picking it up from the store. Win.

Is Linux banned already?
Depends how many hoops you want to jump through, it's not easy to get it running on chromebooks, and even if you do, there are usually major driver issues.

Many times. After spending much money, I've come to the conclusion that if you want to run linux on a laptop, do NOT buy a chromebook, just buy a computer with supported UEFI bios/hardware.
You may get it working on a chromebook, but there's very little support, and usually some drivers like wifi/bluetooth/audio don't work, and when you look for help you will find none except a few old posts from maybe 2 or 3 people that bought the same chromebook as you and tried to load linux on it, found out something was broken, and then switched it back to chromeOS.. I haven't researched this specific laptop, maybe linux runs fine on it, you have to spend your time doing some research.
Since they released Crostini, there's even less desire to get linux running on bare metal chromebooks. With this laptop will get 3 years and 8 months of chromeOS usage.
I can also tell you resale value of chromebooks is low compared to normal windows laptops.

5 year old processor, With chromeos lifecycle, this laptop will be worthless in 3 years.... total E-Waste.
I bet you could use it for 5 more years after the "dead" date for more limited uses. Or just regular Web usage with nothing important to compromise on it. If it gets hacked, you can chuck it into a volcano.
Just bought the 128gb version of this from Costco for $380. That is going back in favor of this one. Thanks for posting the deal! Very strange that the best buy page says that this is both not backlit and no touch screen. I've used the Costco version of this for nearly 30 days and have no complaints. Great device especially for this price.

That's plenty for Chrome OS and 8gb ram. This is a good deal, nice screen too. 1080p IPS at almost 300 nits.
