I'm typing my message on this exact Chromebook. I bought it for $250 back in the summer. It has been great, though as mentioned above, a backlit keyboard would be nice.

It comes with a year of Gemini Advanced and 2 TB of storage. When I tried to activate the offer, I got a cryptic message about my account not being eligible. After a useless exchange with Google Support that took over a week, they ended by saying the device was not eligible. English comprehension ain't their strong suit! I finally figured out that it was because my Google account was part of a Google Family group. I had to disassociate the account to activate the trial.

You can re-create the Family Group after activating the trial and share the 2 TB. I saw a message that you can only do this once a year. It looks like they updated and clarified the terms of the offer to mention the problem I encountered.

Recommended. I installed their Linux support and can run Signal Desktop, Brave and Reaper in that environment.

On the question about media, the internal speakers don't get too loud, but they're fine along with the mic for Google Voice calls. The headphone jack works well with my KRK headphones, plenty of volume and clear. I can cast from Chrome, YouTube and YouTube Music to my TV with Chromecast built-in.

Brightness is fine for indoors. I lower the brightness at night. Probably 200 or 250 nits.

As a device for my elderly mother-in-law, I think Chromebooks are great. I used to get calls about malicious pop-ups and error messages all the time with Windows 10. With a Chromebook, I maybe get a call every 6 months or so. Best Christmas gift we could have gotten her (to preserve my sanity).

Fair enough. But to draw volumes like Windows it needs to have better app support. Chromebooks will exist as a niche device.
Yep, only for people who want to use that fad Internet thing...

Costco website shows the price is $250 Not $200, is there a Promo Code somewhere ? and why Slickdeals mentions (Starts 11/18) ? it is live now
You can buy it now for 250 or wait until 11/18 to buy it for 199. The post specifically states that deal starts 11/18.

If only there weren't so many bad reviews complaining about it not powering up without AC plugged in (despite being fully charged). This and more suggests it being of questionable quality. It's cheap for sure, but might not be worth the headache...
I was wondering the same thing. Read through the reviews and saw more than a few that mentioned that issue. Seems to be too common an issue to be user error.

Costco used to frequently sell a similarly spec'd HP for the same price. I'm hoping they do so again in the future.

All of that is possible on Chromebook. Office online works just like Google Docs/Sheets.
Thanks

Its a Chromebook.
It's a basic Chromebook. You only need 4GB of RAM. So look at it as you're getting 100% more than you need to surf the internet or use Google docs.

That's a pretty good deal. It has a Steam client that's in beta. For older games it's pretty cool. It also has Linux support. Just install flatpak and you can easily install a ton of Linux apps and games.
