If you work primarily in a web browser, use Google apps, and don't need all the rest of the *stuff* that comes with macOS or Windows, Google's ChromeOS offers a sleek, all-you-need, nothing-you-don't computing experience. Throw in the ability to run both Android and Linux apps and you have a perhaps slight eccentric, but potentially very powerful, not very expensive laptop.

Chromebooks have a reputation as cheap, low-end devices. While they can be that, and offer an exceptional bargain in many cases, that's not the end of the story. Just because you strip away the software fluff doesn't mean you have to strip away the hardware power as well. There are high-end Chromebooks that are very powerful, capable machines.

No matter which Chromebook you choose, in many ways you get the best of all world, lightweight software, but with all the essentials to cover a web-based workflow.
