I dunno. I've been using a chromebook exclusively for the last couple of
weeks. It does everything I need and more. Biggest bonus is transparent
updates & that I can pick up any old chromebook and get to my stuff.

I also turned on Linux, so I can run a few Linux apps along side everything
else. It's also at least 3X faster than an equivalent Windows box. Liking
it more every day.
