I'm not looking for one for myself, I already have a killer Windows desktop that does everything I need. I also just picked up a Lenovo Flex 14 as well, so I'm good.
However
I'm looking at getting at least 4 "things*" for the players to have around the table. There are two factors that define what I'm looking for:
Cheap enough for me to buy 4+ of them. (100-150 ish USD)
They run DnD Beyond without choking on it.
* - Things are either large Andriod tablets, Linux or Windows laptops, or Chromebooks.
I'm seeing ads for refurbished Chromebooks for as low as $100, but I don't know enough about how well they'd work. I suppose I could just go to the store and load up the site and try it, eh?
EDIT: I'm also considering getting a Raspberry Pi and a laptop panel and controller for each player. That's also about $100 each. I could either get a touchscreen panel or keyboard/mouse with a non-touch panel. Either way, I guess.
Typically when it comes to D&D I like to use my Lenvo Ideapad Flex 3. It works great, the battery can last for quite a while and if you want it can fold into a tablet so your not taking up as much space when you are playing. You can buy one online on the Walmart website for 172$ or they might have it when you walk into your Walmart. I hope this helped.

Seems to work ok. you are just looking for a browser on a cheap machine. But like you said, look into refurbished. Even go to a pawn shop or a mom & pop pc place (ebay?) and look for windows based laptops to use. or get cheap ones with no OS and install Ubuntu/Mint on then and use that with chrome.
I just want to tell everyone "happy gaming" and actually mean it. Whatever your game is, just have fun with it, it is after all, just a game.
How does the character screen looks like? I'd use my phone but it doesn't display the ability/saves & skills on one page.
i mean, it looks the same as on my pc. i just have to scroll up and down a bit, but i get the whole width.
