If there is someone you really dislike, give them a chromebook. I had
one witha really bad keyboard, so got rid of it by giving it to a
relative on her birthday, later I was in hospital and when I escaped, my
daughter drove me home and stopped at a box-shifter for a quick message,
came out.##

"Here is something to amuse your self with,dad", and had bought me the
worst chromebook ever, an Acer Chromebook.
