What a terrible idea to license the Energizer brand for electronics.
I think the words most people associate with that brand are "obsolete", "overpriced", "disposable", and "e-waste"

I mean not REALLY, there's a Windows powered Acer model on B&H with an 8 core i3-N305, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, and 1920x1080 resolution for $265, so I could see these Energizer branded models have a more basic Chromebook model with 64gb eMMC and lower processor to hit $200, with a Windows variant of around $300.

Also ironic, considering the battery will need serious compromise to reach that price point.

(A tactic from the power tool world: yes that super-sale price beats everyone, but note it doesn't include batteries or a charger...)
