For replacing a MBP, here are some higher-end models I'd recommend (2K+ display, 16GB+ ram, 12th gen Intel i5/i7):

- HP Dragonfly Pro Chromebook - i5-1235U, super-bright 1200-nit display - $999.99

- Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition - i5-1240P, upgradable (only 8GB RAM but supports up to 64GB), modular, repairable; no touchscreen - $999.00

- Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (specifically CP714-1WN-720J) - i7-1260P, solid 360° hinge - $1099.99

I had no idea people paid that kind of money for chromebooks. I was under the impression it was firmly in the three to six hundred dollar range.

You get what you pay for, and, well, the $1,000 -$1,200 set is nicer than the $300 - $600 set.
