I would say Framework has a chromebook edition <https://frame.work/products/laptop-chromebook-12-gen-intel> as probably the "best", but the framework laptop can also be anything else like windoze/linux, or probably even a hackintosh if you really wanted. I'm not sure other chromebooks are convertible to linux or other os if someone say hated chromeos.
Otherwise I'd say search for "best chromebook 2023 <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=high-end+chromebook&ia=web>" like this one <https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-chromebooks> and pick as nice of one as his budget will allow. I'd also check buying one off ebay used, chromebooks are probably readily available from off-lease edu or folks that just didn't like chromeos that ran back to windoze or mac, and likely cheap/reasonable as I can't imagine a strong market for them. -mb On Tue, Apr 18, 2023 at 8:45 AM Michael via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > I got a buddy who needs a new computer.
