Maybe you’re misunderstanding my comparison. I know a cheap Chromebook isn’t going to be anything better than a new more expensive laptop.

But compared to this, which I found on eBay. Putting Linux on that? it would outrun that Chromebook by 1000 fold.

So what I’m saying is I want to buy a new laptop with older hardware that runs faster than a newer laptop with newer hardware for the same price.
