I'm an Apple user - phone, tablet, laptop, airpods, apple TV - even a small ipod collection - However, using the chromebook as a lightweight, bare bones secondary machine does the trick. It's cheap so I dont worry about damaging it, etc. It's not cluttered down with all my files and the battery life is great. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles of my mac (obviously) but this is truly a great value. You can do most day to day things on it and with everything in the cloud, data loss isnt a concern. Love this thing. Would recommend a chromebook to most people looking for a secondary machine, back up, school/ college, seniors - it a great device to have and at the end of the day
I recently switched over to a chromebook (Lenovo Chromebook 3) as my secondary device and it's perfect as a portable text and document editing machine. The battery life is good. The keys are good. It's easy to fit in my backpack. It was cheap. I don't see the need for function keys on my chromebook. The only thing is that I wish there was a capslock key instead of having to use a shortcut and move the search key to the bottom like the windows key. I'd never buy a chromebook as a main device but as a secondary one it's perfect
@@StarCaliburnExtras Honestly, it would bother me if it was my main machine but it was such an upgrade from using a cheap bluetooth keyboard and my phone that I'm fine with it. The shortcuts don't take long to get used to
the lenovo Chromebook Duet 3,, is an 11" TABLET ,, comes with keyboard / case ( & USI 2.0 PEN if your lucky ) normal configuration 4GB/128GB but 8GB ram is also avilable,, it can drive a 2nd screen with a USB C >> HUB with HDMI out its also avilable cheep $250 on black fridays and the like. Case has a KBD, the screen has a glass KBD or pen with handwriting recognition or voice to text ( even off line )
I thought I wanted a Windows laptop a few weeks ago even though I had a Chromebook. I took it back to Walmart because I felt I didn't need all the crap that comes with Windows. You don't have to worry about viruses. I don't need all the stuff that's on windows.

Yeah no caplock bothers me but besides that, it's great as a secondary machine.

A lot of Android apps don't work on Chromebook.
