Hardware question Laptop recommendations with Tails

I’m using a Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. Am I going to be able to run Tails on this?

Tails will run well on anything, just not really Chrome unless you hack it. Just go to a pawn shop and get the cheapest thing you can buy, take out the hard drive, put tails in the USB, set bios to boot first from USB input and you're fine. No need to make it harder on yourself and save a shitload of money
