Hard to get excited about this when the N305 Chromebook was available from Costco for $150 (after getting the $50 off for current Chromebook users). The N6000 is pretty bad compared to the N305, and I'd imagine this would utterly crawl trying to do anything other than stream media.
Also, this is in no way worth the $349 "retail" price. It's probably worth $150 at best, so this is a pretty meager sale.

Was about to get this one for my kid's first laptop. Don't see a decent costco deal anymore. Any other recommendations?
I got this off of eBay from a guy for $85. Ad said new, but I had my doubts. Turns out it was sealed and new! Works great. Only issue is sometimes I need to plug it in to get it to start. But beyond that it is fast enough for multiple tabs.

Yeah I got the one from Costco. Soo much faster than the Pentium Silver Chromebook that my kids used before. I was going to see if I could get another one but was OOS already. Although not sure if I could have used a second $50 coupon as I believe the terms stated one per membership. But yeah, compared to the N305 for only $20 more, this is pretty bad.

I don't see any Costco chromebook which is 15" on sale . Can you share the link ?

This is a pretty fast processors for a chromebook. Its benchmark is faster than an i3-7100u. It would do most tasks just fine. I have used a similar slower processor 4120 and it does fine. This processor is more efficient than the N305. The N305 would be better at Zoom, but the 4120 does it fine for me, sound is perfect, picture updates a bit slow.
My sense is the weakness of this machine is low resolution screen and with the keyboard having a number pad, typing is not centered on the screen. Actually the lower resolution screen also would make the machine seem faster and use less power. Also, if the use is to carry it around a lot, a 14" screen might travel better - smaller and lighter.
4gb of ram just isn't enough in a chromebook these days. Its fine for a few tabs but if you have any apps running the machine just chokes. You can pick up an off lease laptop with 16gb ram, FHD display, and a decent processor from ebay for this price.

I wouldn't accept that even 10 years ago.
