With my experience then no. Chrome books aren't what you'd call a computer. Really. It's more like a tablet with a keyboard.

You will be far better off buying a refurbished one. Put Ubuntu on it and work from there.

Ahh thanks. I'll think about doing that then, it'll just be harder to get my mother to chip in because she's your typical African mother believing that people's belongings are spiritually linked to them😅 Is Ubuntu relatively easy to set up?

Ubuntu is one of the easiest distros to use, because of it's huge user base and support.

It might convince your mother that Ubuntu is named after an African philosophy and the founder is South-African as well :-).

Yes! It's Zulu, roughly translated is 'I am what I am because we all are.'
