I always thought “You’ll pry MS Office from my cold dead hands” but these days 98% of what I use it for is handled by Google Docs. (It helps that almost all docs I care about are internal and began life in Google Docs.)

Also Google seems to have discovered a revolutionary technology called a “keyboard” where you mechanically actuate a switch and it results in a character of input to your machine. Apple should steal that.

I've been doing dev on a Chromebook with AWS Cloud9 (and the local Linux container for really small projects). The only thing I miss from my Mac is access to Adobe tools. For MS Office, the web versions are more than adequate for my purposes.

I had to take my Macbook in for repair recently so I borrowed one of my kids Chromebooks for a week. I was pretty impressed. And it forced me to move my dev environment to the cloud (using
@Codeanywhere) which I'm going to stick with now that I've got my Macbook back. -
If you (or your kid) is doing any app dev, would love to hear what you think of
@Lightwellpro for both Mac and Chromebook as an Android download.

Many Chromebooks can run docker containers now and install Linux apps. Definitely done some React Native in VS Code and ran it on board via the Android support. $200 fully capable machine
