For a school Chromebook for a teen or college student, this has all the specs id want.

Decent CPU for chrome, 8GB RAM, actual ssd for storage, decent screen, Acceptable webcam.

Ports looks like 2 USB-A, 2 USB-C, 1 HDMI and 1 headphones port.

Touchscreen and backlit keyboard are nice to have, but not critical.

If you know what you're looking for you can find similar Chromebooks with slightly lower spec (CPU, SSD size, screen) for around $120-150 if you're willing to buy used instead of certified refurbished.

Up To you to decide if the extra $40-60 is worth it for a 2 year warranty and a better spec Chromebook.
If you think that this Chromebook will be well cared for, then this is a good deal.

If you think that this Chromebook will be dropped, lost or broken in the next year, I'd save some $$ and buy used.

https://docs.mrchromebox.tech/doc...vices.html claims it should work. Trust, but verify before buying.

Every Chromebook I worked on has "Linux development mode" option. Once you turn it on, you can install Linux. Most Chromebooks have 32G storage, so it is a limit for development. For Chomrebook Plus, such as the one in this post, has 512G SSD storage. Acer told me that I can replace the SSD in this chromebook plus, if I want more storage. You can contact Acer and they answer questions.
Usually, I contact the seller before I place an order of a laptop or a Chromebook.

Got one for the kids.
*Notes:
For a certified refurbished, it looks brand new. Battery had 0 cycles.
For a plastic body, it feels pretty decent.
Touchscreen but only opens 180 (not a 360 flip).
Oddly doesn't advertise in descriptions, but it's a Chromebook Plus.

Good callout regarding the lack of "Plus" on the eBay product page. It's in the "Item description from the seller" section and you can see it in the photo of the lid, but it should definitely be more prominent (i.e., in the product title).

I'm looking for a 13"/14"/15 inch 512 GB laptop with USB C charging from any reputable brand. Any one know of a good deal? It is for home use only, so no need of high end specs. Those are the only needed specs.
