Lenovo C330 . It has android app support and I’m pretty sure Linux app support as well
I pretty much do the same things you are wanting to do on a Chromebook.
I live on a pretty low fixed income and couldn't afford a very expensive Chromebook.
I ended up buying the Lenovo C330 which is scheduled to receive updates until 2022.
Here's the one I bought and have been using it problem-free for about 6 months now.
It supports android & Linux apps too. Has plenty of storage.

I dont believe you can upgrade anything on chromebooks (dont quote me...)
The best option for you would be (imo) the Lenovo C330 from amazon, basically the S330 with touch:

Double the memory to 64GB, cheaper, and you get a nice touchscreen to use with google apps.
​
edit: looking over at bestbuy site, those prices are awfully high!
lenovo chromebook C330 - you won’t regret it

In that case, there is also Linux if the open source chrome OS doesn't work. But if they happen to be an Android user, they will likely be happier using something that looks like Android.
Or, you might just point your client at this Lenovo C330 https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Chromebook-Convertible-11-6-Inch-81HY0000US/dp/B07GM2J11Q/ref=asc_df_B07GM2J11Q/ got one for my teenage son to carry around college campus, and it's pretty kick-sss for the price for a 11.6" two in one.
I don't think that the price on it is great, since it is cheaper on Amazon. In your price range, my recommendation is the Lenovo Chromebook C330 which is a very popular device, so I don't think you can run into any major issues.
Please take a look at the Asus c213:

Are these the kind of thing you're looking for?
C330 64gb is $220 on Amazon now.

i was reading lotta reviews and it really is a good chromebook.
what are you thinking?
i was inbetween that and this one, not sure does it worth paying double for apps and touch screen.
Also how does it compare to the newer Lenovo Chromebook C330?
If you can stretch your budget just a little, people love this Chromebook: [Lenovo Chromebook C330]
(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GM2J11Q)
Or you can get it used easily within your budget.
Unless you're willing to spend alot on a chromebook(not reccomended), the best processor you'd expect is a celeron(think less than half of a 2014 macbook air). Best buy in my opinion overcharges for chromebooks; you'll find better deals on amazon. That said, here's some options.
This will both last 2 years and work well enough. For $159 at time of posting(on amazon, was 200 at best buy):
2018 Dell 11.6" Chromebook, Intel Dual-Core Celeron N3060 up to 2.48GHz, 4GB RAM, 16 GB eMMC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07J4TVF7D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_dOeIDb4NERVHM
For $219 on sale right now, it's a 2in1 w/touchscreen:
2-in-1 Convertible Laptop, 4GB LPDDR3, 64 GB eMMC https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GM2J11Q/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7ReIDb2NNCGXB
Best buy option:

Those have 11.6 inch displays, hope your kid is ok with that (larger displays are available). If you want to go to best buy, I'd reccomend finding something on amazon and try to price match it, provided best buy policy works that way. Good day!

are you okay with a chromebook?
This should work: https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Chromebook-Convertible-11-6-Inch-81HY0000US/dp/B07GM2J11Q/ref=sr_1_6?crid=WOOXRP938246&keywords=chromebook+with+ips+display&qid=1566482165&s=gateway&sprefix=chromebook+with+ips%2Caps%2C140&sr=8-6
It has an IPS display so that way you can have good viewing angles
