Help buying laptop

Hey guys. I'm going to buy a laptop for dnm purposes and was wondering if I got a used chrome and reset it to factory, would it be safe? Would chrome be a decent laptop to run tails. I'm really new to all this and have no experience with it. But I want to be safe as possible. Any advice is much appreciated and thank you for taking the time to read this !

Chromebook? No. Find a cheap laptop that runs Windows, remove the HDD, and use that to boot Tails.

Chrome is such a shitty operating system.

Despite what everyone else here says, I suggest a Chromebook. They're cheap, fast and will do the job. I have a Chromebook that's purely used for this type of thing.

That being said, my Chromebook runs a full blown Linux distro and I'm a netsec professional so I can set it up properly. If you don't feel comfortable hacking around a bit and have knowledge of Linux, don't go this route.

If you're not a complete idiot though, you will not find a better bang for your buck.

I could get you a used one relatively cheap.
