Download http://files.minecraftforge.net/ for your minecraft version

Install the mods

Done.

 

That's all provided you have port forwarded, which is done through your router.

You can do, I'm guessing that the $200 laptop isn't particularily great. You'd preferably want something with at least 8GB of RAM for a modded server.

If it's an ARM chromebook, it won't run minecraft. If it's an Intel Atom or Celeron Chromebook, you will barely be able to sustain a lag free vanilla server. Heavily modded is out of the question. You'll need something high clock speed and quad core. (3GHz+) and about 8-16GB of RAM.
