As long as you're ok with the bigger form factor, this is the best Chromebook (or laptop) for the price. It's a high res 120Hz screen and a 12th gen i5 processor. Nothing else comes close at the price point.

It was well reviewed [pcmag.com] even at the original price.

Please add "Refurb" in title. Thanks.

What are the cons of a chromebook vs a windows computer? I know my son mostly plays roblox, geometry dash, steam, etc. Will this work for all that? What won't work on a chromebook that would work on a windows computer? Thanks!

You cannot "install" Microsoft Office. But you can use the free or paid web version of MS Office.

No, you need to buy a Windows laptop for the best gaming support. Chromebooks are basically for people that only use a web browser. That's an oversimplification but it's true more or less.

Something like this would be miles better for gaming.

I decided to get this 16-in 2 in 1 Asus Chromebook instead. Sale $400 new at bb. I got an excellent condition used for $50 more than this deal. Lower resolution at 1900 x 1200 and probably just 60 HZ but I and I like having touch and it seems to get bright enough

This laptop can fully support Windows 11 if you are comfortable with opening up laptops and flashing firmware: https://coolstar.org/chromebook/w...stall.html

You would have to pay for the audio and Thunderbolt drivers.
