I bought an Asus chromebook for my grandmother a few months ago for $159 (via Amazon), though a few days later it jumped to $199. It was a pretty great deal.
I love ChromeOS... it's grandma/mom safe, and works very well. The only limitations I've really struggled with in my own use, is VPN to work, and the lack of an IMAP mail client. Other than that, it's worked great for everyone I've given one to.
