I use the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook (picked it up for $279 from Best Buy) and it is pretty amazing. OLED screen, ARM performance that's pretty good, a tablet that comes with a keyboard.
It's a great Chromebook for on the go stuff.

I have a Duet 5 and a Duet 3 (smaller form factor, ideal for reading in bed). I like being able to run most Android programs, and my go-to software suite, Emacs, TeXLive, and various Scheme systems, runs fine on Debian Bookworm. I tried Crouton years ago, did not like it; but Crostini seems to work very well. I rarely notice lag, except sometimes when logging in.
There are some negatives: some Android apps are flaky, and the Linux environment has a few restrictions. And of course the whole requirement to log in with a Google account. But as a daily driver, the device is inexpensive and highly usable.
