Love, love, love my Chromebooks. Currently using an ASUS C720 with 4GB RAM (more RAM on this machine does make a difference). Bought another for the wife and our two older ones are being used by staff in our kindergarten. They just work. Sure, there are lots of things you can't do on a Chromebook, but at this point that's only about 15% of what I have to do, like my bookkeeping and some other tasks that only have Windows apps. Otherwise, unless you're a power user, and even then, it's the best thing out there for most people for most things. Easy to use Drive or Dropbox for moving files between Chromebook and Windows machines. Availability of things like Office Online even gives you those MS apps if you need them. Otherwise, Google equivalents work just fine for most things. Very lightweight, easy to pop into a satchel when traveling, great battery life, etc.
