I'm believe it's: ASUS Chromebook C301SA-DB04 13.3 Inch (Intel Celeron N3160, 4GB, 64GB eMMC, Silver) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01INVHL2C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fmB4yb4GNJWBQ
I use an ASUS 13.3" (4 GB RAM 4-core Celeron) for similar work. I use WebStorm just fine. Love it.
$279 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01INVHL2C and it has 64GB internal storage.
I suspect that you have received some downvotes because this is a chromeos sub. But many people want to run an unneutered Linux on Chromebook hardware. I'm with OP in this. In fact OP's post made me check if r/chromebooks existed. Good news, it doth exist.
For me, a fanless CB with an FHD screen is ideal. I use a Toshiba CB 2 (2014). You will find many reports of screen problems, but I have had a good experience with this hardware. The only bad experience that I have had is Google's bad update on the beta channel that seriously affected the Toshiba. (Solution: stay on the stable channel, used the Chrome Recovery extension.)
My thoughts about the Toshiba CB 2 2014: impressive screen, good typing experience (but not as good as Thinkpad), and silent. A good device for both chromeos and Linux. How could it be better? Maybe a matte screen and lighted keyboard.
Toshiba is out of the market now; you might find a good used CB 2 (2014). If I were going to buy a new CB for Linux today, I would consider the Asus CB 301SA. I'm not interested in touch screens and convertibles.
You might want to consider whether an ARM or Intel CPU is a requirement for you. I also have a first-generation, ARM-based Samsung CB that has a matte screen. It's still a dependable product that performs well. And a matte screen, which I prefer.
For Linux, I have used "crouton" for a long time. I am currently experimenting with GalliumOS running from USB 3.0 flash. That's how I am typing this message. (o:
Here are my suggestions:
The Asus C301SA is an option.
