would buying a chrome book be worth it or would i be wasting my money? Are they similar to those shitty intel atom netbooks from a few years back or do these actually have functionality? Im looking to have a portable pc for learning to code, browse the internet, and play old school runescape. Would a chrome book be a wise investment for me?
dont bother. you can get a better computer for the same amount with way more hardware features and functionality.

Chromebooks are a joke. Buy an old laptop off eBay for 200 bucks instead.
Eh I enjoy my chrome book bought it for 120 bucks off amazon just to do school things on it and it does that perfectly fine.
If you have a desktop already, and just need basic office programs and shitposting, it can be worth it, but don't spend more than ~150 on one, otherwise you should just get a used laptop

This.
I think it's worth spending up to $250. Chromebook is about low overhead, quick start/shutdown, long battery life, and modern supported hardware.
Just got a Chromebook pixel 2013 for $393 new.
Flashed a rom, installed Linux, laughed at everyone on /g/
