Mrs F does quite a bit of browsing and social media stuff on her phone, but occasionally needs something bigger. We've still got one of my old work laptops that is slow and getting slower (can't reinstall Windows), noisy, hot, and potentially has to be returned any day, so we're thinking of a replacement. A standard 15.6" laptop is probably too big for comfortable lap use, so smaller would be better. She's said she'd like a keyboard, so although I've looked at larger tablets and cheap 2-in-1s, I think the small laptop format is the way to go.
A cheap (<£200) Windows laptop might be the answer, but I like the look of this Acer chromebook. And it looks good value on Argos; 4GB and 32GB storage seems pretty unusual at this price (due to the non-standard CPU?):

The 2GB/16GB model is £220 on Amazon, where it gets pretty good reviews:

Actually I'm wondering whether Argos have made a mistake in their price/specs. But if not, any thoughts?
