The Chromebook is brand new straight from Amazon.
Google says your ebay laptop costs somewhere between $900 and $1,400 in new condition depending on what model it is. Yours is also "smashed and cracked" with no AC adapter based on the description.
I don't really mind if there's something faster because I spend time developing 10,000+ line Dockerized Rails apps with the Chromebook along with having a bunch of browser tabs open and streaming music, etc.. and it all runs great.
That Chromebook I mentioned is just a perfect storm of high quality components at a good price. I hope it lasts another 5+ years.
