@djwfyi how high powered do you need or is budget the bigger concern?
For my son I bought a Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i in 2022 which has been quite solid - it has features we rarely use (can be a tablet) but is solid and I got it on a deep discount during an Amazon sale (one is coming up in a few weeks so if you have prime worth looking). Main advice I would have is make sure whatever you get will have many years of support for chromeOS (many budget ones do not)

@Rycaut It's going to be mostly social web, Google docs, email, and general web surfing. Nothing particularly stringent or demanding.

@djwfyi for reference when I bought it in 2022 on sale Amazon’s sale price with tax was $306 (I missed out getting the slightly higher spec model) I would guess on Amazon’s upcoming Prime Big Deal Days (Oct 8-9) you might see similar bargains. But if you can’t wait worth looking around. Even at $429 it’s a decent buy and I would guess there are more recent models with higher specs for a similar price.
