Chromebook help

My 10 year old would like to buy a Chromebook with his Christmas money.
Any recommendations for a good buy to look out for in the sales please.
At school they use them for scratch - is this possible at home?
I am not really sure what he wants one for or what other use he has for it 😂
Thanks in advance

I got my daughter one in September of Backmarket for school. You can set restrictions on it so he can't go onto websites without permission which I really liked

Not a huge amount, theyre all pretty similar at that price acer 314 for example has 4gb ram and a celeron processor...

If you can stretch to £250, the asus cx43 is £250 with a much stronger i3 processor, 8gb ram and much faster ssd. Its payable by installments at £50/mo on amazon at the moment.
