Of course a "ASUS CHROMEBOX 3-N018U" runs over four times the price, so you could just buy three pi and toss them as the flash card fails and still save money.

There's no shortage of chromebooks in the $250-300 range which then also include a display, narrowing the price difference drastically.

Of course there's also used options, which is also a good option for ipads and such that would still be a much better option than this for a non-techy user.

The Rpi 400 looks fun, but it's a tech toy for hobbiest electronics usage or general hackery. Not a generally good computing appliance for the masses.
