Nevermind, I can't...

Define "cringe" please.

I am not an expert on laptop prices, but I was alluding to the fact that not all "loving parents" are able to afford a 400$ or even a 200$ laptop, and going off the assumption they can is a very privileged position. Wild, innit. Ofc that means a chromebook is probably out of reach for them as well, that's partly why I was using a sarcastic tone. I just think there's nothing wrong with laptops designed specifically for cheapness and availability, especially if they can provide an even lower price tag when sold used, and from what I've seen, they can, and chromebooks have already become the first laptop for many children that wouldn't be able to have them any other way.

Yes, exactly! Everyone who just needs to have access to the internet and maybe do some light productivity tasks should just stop being poor, so easy!

yeah, affordable laptops are terrible, all laptops should be expensive and inaccessible.

and its ALL YOUR FAULT!!

WHAT? lover4578

Sorry I ated it 😞

Chromebooks aren't good value. An affordable but solid laptop should come at a minimum price of 400 dollars, and they can do far more than the chromebook

This forum, it's full of shite.

Too late, you're already done.

Jim Hall is shaking his head looking at this.

Unless you're talking about failed states or those in Africa any parent would be able to afford a laptop. Monthly salaries here are 350 dollars a month minimum, and it took a month for my parents to be able to get me my first laptop at a price of 400 dollars and pay for everything else as well. Buying a cheap laptop is only good if the kid is a toddler, as they wouldn't do much other than watch nursery rhymes on YT but they can also do that on phones which are equally as capable yet have the same function, as a 200 dollar phone already falls in the midrange category it's smarter to buy that rather than buy a chromebook, even compatibility would be much better on the phone. And it's not expensive to get a good functional phone either, a midranger from 2017 would cost about 70 dollars nowadays on aliexpress (Nokia 7 for example).

Crimebooks, shipped with Tails! Shhhhh... don't tell them...
