Bought my kids refurb MacBook M1 Airs. Amazing devices! They love them. 

Battery is tops, screen is tops, just tops.

Is this an OK option for me to buy for a year 10 student?   The chromebooks we have got are not surviving.

I would suggest something a little more up to date- like this:

Interesting to see if prices keep going up , I looked at another 1tb SSD the other day less than 2 years ago I paid $199 for Samsung pro , today’s price at p b tech $516 that’s insane increase 

 

Its why chip stocks  are heading to the moon and Samsung are paying their Fab staff USD $400K bonuses.
Demand for Chips and Ram are currently off the chart.

We have an existing HP Chromebook where some of the keys have stopped working.  They look fine on the keyboard (not broken), just don't respond to being pushed.

Does anyone think these are worth fixing?  Trying to figure out if we should pay to have someone assess it and possible fix it, or just give up on buying Chromebooks (this is the 4th!) and switch to getting an ex lease laptop.
