We bought my 12 year old one of those (similar anyway - because the models change all the time). It’s been excellent for schoolwork and the YouTube sh1te she watches endlessly.

It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Chromebook is a limiting factor which it you don't know everything they're intending to use it for could be a dealbreaker. Stick with a windows 10 laptop if its for a young teen, you know it'll be compatible with all school related stuff as well as any games or whatever.

For value, right at the basic end of the scale is this:

To be fair we went into a fair bit with the bloke at currys and considering chromebooks were sold by different staff and for less money I respected them for not making me spend more on windows

Don't get me wrong, if you can find out exactly what they want to use it for chromebooks are better value for money.

But if you're not sure, the fundamental problem is typical software in schools etc are windows based and without an android app won't be able to be used on the chromebook.

Is this still true? For primary schools everything seems to be an app now.

You can run Windows stuff on a Chromebook but it's probably more effort than most people want to put in to be honest.
