    I have a fairly low end chromebook that I use mostly for surfing the web but I've also done some work in VSCode building a web application and I found that I could do most things on the chromebook. The only issue was doing keyboard navigation I had to use the PC because the chromebook I have has a small, funky key layout.

    In my point of view, I need a Chromebook that can easily handle programming (powerful enough and future proof specs), but should be compact and portable (slim 13" to 14" so I won't carry my laptop everywhere) and to use it instead of my ipad or tablet for web surfing, watching movies on my bed.

      You should try to learn from official documentation before referring to a yt video focus on one language for base than learning other language required to build the application you want. Long coding sessions, not using any AI extension or until you know basics atleast and most important never try to learn 100% of any language

    It's a good device, till you find it's a 600 $ laptop with 8gb and 128gb storage with i3. This looks expensive than a laptop with 8gb and i5/ryzen 5 with 256 to 512 gb storage.
    At least 256 gb is essential.
    Although yes it's is cool to have a 16 inch display with touch screen bcz thats the half of budget going, But rest of the specs are not that good.
    Go for it if touch screen and chrome os are essential for you.

    Wipe that shit and put linux on it. Chromebook is cool and has its use cases but for programming it needs to be wiped and Linux needs to be installed. Don't run alongside or whatever garbage chromebook allows you, just ditch it entirely. Oh and depending on your chromebook it can be pretty frustrating to wipe the boot and instill a linux distro.
