<div dir="ltr">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.<br>

Ultimately, if your son can't do what he needs to using Linux, a Chromebook probably isn't the best idea. Personally, I have a Pixel and I'm in love with it. (I had to turn developer mode on and modify the startup scripts to allow for the native resolution of 2560x1700, but that's my only gripe)<br>

That's an amazing screen!! I'd like to see one someday. It costs too much for me, but thanks for telling us about it.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
