The sub-HD display and underpowered internals aren't much, but at this price it's a great sub-$200 Chromebook for a kid.

Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook: was $289 now $219 @ Amazon
This Lenovo IdeaPad 3i is a cheap, durable Chromebook that's good enough for browsing the web or doing light schoolwork. The 15.6-inch 1080p screen gives you plenty of room to stream videos, and the 8GB of RAM and Intel Celeron CPU are good enough for basic work. The only big limitation is the 64GB of storage space, but Chromebooks rely on Internet access and cloud apps for most things anyway.

Lenovo 300e Yoga Chromebook: was $369 now $289 @ Amazon
If you want a cheap Chromebook you can tap on, this 300e Yoga 2-in-1 is a good value. The 11.6-inch (‎1366 x 768) touchscreen can't do 1080p and the 2Ghz MediaTek CPU and 4GB of RAM aren't much in terms of power, but this cheap Chrome 2-in-1 is more than good enough for a child's first Chromebook.
