From Amazon, $314.48, only 11 left in stock  Tried to enter a link and it was like 11 pages long. |
This one?
640GB was certainly a strange hard-drive size until I saw that it's a 512GB SSD with a 128GB SD card. I would probably glance around at the other options to see how much you're saving on that deal--it does Ship from Amazon but it's
Sold by a third-party seller called "Issaquah Highlands Tech". You might want to check what kind of warranty comes with the device, and whether it would be better to get one directly from Amazon/directly from the manufacturer.
Otherwise, it looks fine to me from a Chromebook perspective. I'm not wild on the Google AI (especially if you were fleeing Windows for similar reasons), and I'd caution against you getting too attached to that 2TB cloud storage, because it looks like it's only for one year. But otherwise 512GB SSD should be sufficient for everything you need to do with it. Even my calibre library can fit on that...
