Honest but unpopular answer? He might believe he can make more money holding on to the $180k. It's the same reason why I would take a 2% car loan even if I had enough to buy the car outright. I can make more than 2% just keeping that money in a mutual fund.

I'll tell you that even at 4 I see differences in my son's behavior if he watches Turtles or if he watches something like Puffin Rock.

Linux is a great way to extend the usefulness of an EOL Chromebook. I would not buy a Chromebook for Linux though. You'd be better off getting a used Thinkpad or something.

Even the Zenfone is making some compromises since it doesn't have a telephoto.

And honestly I care more about an SD slot than a headphone jack since an adapter is not a big issue.

That's not how their book lending works. There are a limited number of copies and they can only be checked out in a DRM-protected format. Unless you strip the DRM from them you cannot print them out.
