See I am having trouble with something. I am debating whether to get low cost windows or low cost chrome OS. I want to use it for some retro games here and there but mostly school work and web browsing. Any suggestions for laptops too would be much appreciated.

I'd really recommend staying away from ChromeOS as it's too locked down. I'd definitely recommend a Windows laptop over a ChromeBook. 

 

Depending on your budget, I'd recommend a $400-600 WIndows laptop if you can afford that with your budget.

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

I was thinking of the lenovo n22 a cheap low powered chromebook. Or spending a little more for the new aspire e 15. Either way im gonna do some upgrades to make them last longer.
