With a starting price of around $249, the Samsung Series 3 Chromebook is already one of the cheapest laptops money can buy. Some folks might be turned off by the fact that the little laptop has an ARM-based processor, runs Google Chrome OS instead of Windows, and has a non-replaceable battery (which is good for around 6 hours).
But to others, those are the laptop’s selling points (and you can run Ubuntu or other Linux-based operating systems on it if you really dislike Chrome OS).
If even $249 seems like a bit much to pay, today you’re in luck. Best Buy is offering refurbished models for just $170.

I might get that Chromebook, but I hear Skype is not supported, and I don´t really want to bother with workarounds/hacks that may be out there.
