Yup, old Chromebooks are great. I got mine used for 180PLN (45USD), and I’m using it to connect to my computer at home via SSH to do some work there whenever I’m bored at school. The battery life is awesome and the laptop itself is great for whenever I want to test my code on it (different distro and lower specs). Though the firmware is a little weird because it doesn’t want to boot off the sd card, however I can imagine mounting /usr or something on it as a dirty hack over this.

Princess Mononoke is my history teacher’s favorite too x)
Mine is Spirited Away. It was the first one of Ghibli’s production I saw and it really took me to another world

I watched the whole, but spoiler alert, you didn’t miss much
