Walmart sells an HP Chromebook 14 with T-Mobile 3G for $350. The unit comes with 4GB of RAM and a 16GB SSD. The SSD is way more than you need as an average Chromebook user. Microcenter currently has the same Chromebook without the T-Mobile 3G for $250 with a 16GB SSD and $270 with a 32GB SSD. Linux heads and other nerds, like me, always want to upgrade their devices. I recommend that you just a unit with the size SSD you think you can live with. Upgrading a Chromebook 14 NGFF SSD is not for the faint of heart . There are a bunch of small cables and at least 13 screws on the back and 3-5 inside that have to be removed. The keyboard is clipped into the base of the unit. Those clips must all be worked loose. The motherboard with the SSD on it is held in via 3-4 screws, the heat pipe linkage to the CPU behind the fan and the USB port openings on the left hand side Of course I didn't listen to my own advice and bought the Chromebook because it is pretty much a laptop
