Chromebooks work great for what they are. Basic spreadsheets, word doc, calendaring, seamless google meets over video, good file organization, etc.
For heavy duty processing, not so much. For that you have to deal with all of the warts and baggage of a windows operation system and its office software. Been there, and done that for too many years. I used to use a Windows system computer for work to do the all of the computer processing required for my job. No more of that nonsense, a simple chromebook works great.
