Best bang-for-the-buck chromebook

[Lukripar]

Looking for suggestions for a Chromebook for my wife and I. We have one laptop, so I'd like to have a second one to use for browsing on the couch and productivity. 

 

I would prefer a 2in1 for easy movie watching in bed while my wife is sleeping.

 

What's the best value to performance Chromebook on the market? So far what had caught my attention are the Lenovo 300e and 500e. They seem to be durable, powerful, and affordable. I'm not super concerned with getting a super premium finish. Mainly looking for performance per dollar.

 

We both use pixel 2 phones so that integration is part of the reason we are looking to a Chromebook for a secondary device. 

 

Our budget really tops out at 300-320 usd. I know that's not alot and I would never consider buying a Windows machine for that price point, but there seems to he a lot of value in that pricepoint for Chromebooks.

 

Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Chromebooks aren't really that good, as they are limited strictly to Google Drive and what Google decides to put on it. Instead, buy a refurbished laptop for around $300 on eBay. Better specs, and you get Windows 10.

That's a contradiction in terms if I've ever heard one
