Anytime! The < $300 options are still there (I wouldn't recommend ARM, strictly because the current options are slower and not worth the ~$50 savings in my opinion), but ultimately most hardware out there is competitively priced, so I'm sure you could find a very competitive and equivalent laptop running Windows and either keep that or install Linux, based on your son's needs. Good luck in your search! -Andrew On Fri, Aug 23, 2013 at 2:41 AM, Mike Miller <mbmiller+l at gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, 22 Aug 2013, Andrew Dahl wrote: > > Ultimately, if your son can't do what he needs to using Linux, a >> Chromebook probably isn't the best idea.
