+1 on the Chromebook. I got one for my kid for grade 5, worked all the way up to grade 9. Found a $300 on for $200, and sold it for $120 and upgraded him to a 14" one for grade 10 for $349.
An alternative would be a used iPad with an addon keyboard, though that'll probably be almost as much as a laptop.
That said the stores with used laptops I don't know how much I'd trust them, the prices all look way too high for what they are.
