Not a bad deal, should be pretty snappy, I'm disappointed that there are so few Chromebooks that have a 2k, 3k, or 4k screen.

If you decide to go the new route, BB offers $50 off any Chromebook Plus with the 'recycling' of any laptop.

I would get this for important stuff like banking since chromebooks are almost immune to malware.

The resolution is 1200p (16:10) not 1080p.
It qualifies for Chromebook+ with the 1080p webcam and 8GB RAM.

As long as you don't have any expectation for the screen (color gamut is a abysmal and relatively low res), it's not a bad choice given it's supported through 2032, so 7 more years to go.

You can even install Windows 11 on it (coolstar.org) even though 8GB and Windows 11 might not be the best match. (I haven't tried)
