I’ve been think of doing just that for some time now. I’m going to order a small Chromebook today.

One caveat, I won’t use it for online ordering. I’ve had a credit card hacked twice that way. No money lost of course, but a PIA nevertheless.

Ouch. One nice feature of my credit card is the ability to generate a virtual number that can be used one-time. I use that when ordering something online, particularly with a vendor I've never dealt with before.

Also, for some sites we have added two-step verification. After putting in your regular password, they text you a one-time password (OTP) which you enter to finally access the site.
