I bought Toshiba Chromebooks (the 2014 variant, which lacks the backlit keyboard but is pretty much otherwise identical to the 2015) for my kids. Two of them have moved onto MacBooks but the youngest chugs along with his Chromebook. I was able to find them online for $85 - $135 over the years. The screens were fairly easy to replace and cost about $45.
I also recommended one to my brother-in-law and he totes it on trips. The trackpad stopped working so he uses an external mouse. They're terrific as a travel laptop: plug the SD card into the slot, upload your photos to Google Photos, and don't worry about what happens to your photos if your camera is stolen or whatever. And at that price it's much less painful than if your MacBook Pro is stolen. Plus the 1080P resolution on 13" screen is better than most options for a lot more money.
