[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1  If you need to be able to send a letter as a Word doc then a Chromebook is not for you.  If you want to be able to save documents and access them without using the internet, then a Chromebook is not for you.  There is a wider level of functionality in Excel that doesn't exist in the Google version of Excel online.  In general a laptop will be a better fit for an adult than a Chromebook imo.  The downside of a laptop is that you will need to purchase an Office software package in order to be able to use the laptop for office types of uses like Word, Excel, PowerPoint.

I have a work laptop and a work Chromebook.  999 times out of 1000 I will use the laptop before the Chromebook.[/quote]

That's just not true anymore. First, I love Google Docs which can read and write Word docs. They have allow you to edit Word docs now. Microsoft Office has an  Android Office app that works on most Chromebooks from the last few years. The Chromebook is more secure, easier to manage, and now supported for 6+ years. If you need gaming, video editing, then you likely are better with a Windows laptop but otherwise a Chrome OS laptop handles most things just fine (I have a few in my family)[/quote]
