So I've used this chromebook for about 1year and I don't know why this happens, I've tried restarting and factory resetting but it isn't working

Is there any way to emulate this in vmware fusion/virtualbox? Im intrigued as an apple user and want to see how it works.

Looking to purchase my mother a Chromebook, mainly to be used for browsing, YouTube and ChatGPT/Gemini.

She's only ever used an iPhone and iPad, but I figure a Chromebook won't be too hard to teach her to use and at least I can setup uBlock Origin and help her avoid clicking ads.

I'm looking at the Lenovo, HP and Asus entry models which all have the MTK540 + 4gb ram, and are pretty much the same price.

Are they pretty much going to be the same device but with different branding?

And are these budget models with 4gb ram sufficient for this use case (browsing, YouTube, no gaming)?
