I just rejuvenated the Acer CB3 431 chromebook by swapping in a new battery for a bargain 18GBP including postage.
Battery replacement was a doddle (are you watching Apple, maybe you need some tips on good design) and now I've a fully working Chromebook with a 11 hour battery life and a 2020 style App store.
I also review the Chromebook in this video and whilst it's not a snappy performer I think it would be perfect as a Guest laptop for visitors or for something with a zero data footprint to take outside the home and not worry (as much) if it get stolen.
Since this is a 2018 design I'd not venture to pay more than 200 GBP for such a 2GB machine on today's second hand market.
I found the keyboard and screen of this laptop excellent the only major thing it lacks is a backlit keyboard. There is no SD card reader but I dont think you need this for a chromebook.
