chromebook users, any you recommend in the $150-$200 range?

with long update life, also hoping for something you can get at a store like best buy, instead of online only like amazon. i'm in need of a new one, not sure if there's any black friday/holiday deals. hope the sale lasts if there is one, as i'm not sure when i'd be able to go to a store. thank you!

I'm looking for a clamshell tablet with both book and portrait viewing angles... same price range

every chromebook that my mom's bought in that price range is a piece of crap

sue them

My question is why do you want a chromebook?

I mean you can get some for about 100 dollars. They're pretty simple laptops, but if you expect them to do anything fancier than word processing, reading emails, and watching videos etc you're gonna have to pay more.

Well, you can just use the affordable hardware and install Windows/Linux. If it has an ARM CPU you still have some Linux options.

yeah i like them due to them being more safe. when i was a kid i went through so much issues with windows. i smartened up, but i'd still rather avoid windows.

but yeah these chromebooks run into issues too, this one was $129 a year and a half ago, lately when i open the lid it says system ui not responding. as you can see i type lower cased mostly because a bunch of random stuff happens when i use the upper case. also sometimes a random string of letters and numbers appear after what i type. also if i enlarge a guide on this site due to the small screen, and scroll down with the direction button it'll keep auto-scrolling for like 5 seconds.

i just like that they're more affordable, and looking for a replacement asap,

Are you abusing these or something? I have no problem with mine, and I use it to code. I'm surprised you're getting issues like these.
