Got my nan a Chromebook a year or so ago, and she loves it. uses it everyday, and it's light enough (~1kg) for her to carry around and take with her when she needs it.
Was looking around Amazon for Black Friday deals when I spotted this. Awesome price, and the cheapest available locally (for any Chromebook) is around $340 shipped according to Pricespy.
