      You're starting to give me Christmas ideas for the kids.

      hard to beat at $150

            I was mentioned more for the "for the kids" comment above.

            Though I think their BF deals are already live and shipping.

              RAM: 8-16 GB
              Storage: 128-256 GB

              These are INSANE specs. Normal good Chromebooks are 4GB, 8GB is an extreme. 16GB is absurd.

              Storage is normally 16-32GB. What are you going to do with any more? Your stated use case doesn't match your requirements in any way.

                I can order from PCM, CDW, and Amazon Business. Any suggestions?

                Seems like overkill for internet acess

                4GB and 16GB here, and it works GREAT.

                  @IRJ I agree. That is why I suggested more of the 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage. And that might even be overkill.

                  Dramatic. Double the RAM and 400% of the needed storage.

                  Lots of new Chromebooks are still 2GB, but you notice quickly.

                    @NerdyDad Both HP and Dell make what you are looking for. I'd stick with them just based on my experience. Hope yopu find what you are looking for.

                    Asus, Acer, Samsung... all make good units. And if you are okay with Lenovo (cough, cough) they have good models, too.

                      I poked a vendor that might have info and pricing for you.

                      Also poking Samsung themselves.
