My 98-yr-old Mom uses a Chromebook many hours a day for social media, video calls with family, sending greeting cards, etc. and it's been a godsend. She was a Windows user for decades, but we couldn't deal with constantly fixing Windows remotely. ChromeOS has been wonderfully stable and safe for her.

I got a very low-end HP Chromebook as a "gift" for listening to a 30-minute sales spiel on Google Cloud a few years ago. It's a useful ultra-portable, halfway between my MacBook (a real computer) and my iPad (tablet).

*ShadowAce* Not mentioned in the article is that you can download and run a Linux OS environment on a Chromebook, in a VM/container. It's a Debian (Ubuntu-ish) distro and really quite good. Having that running Bash sessions on the same desktop as the other ChromeOS applications is pretty cool.

I don't use ChromeOS much, but it's handy for the things I use it for.

Same here. Chromebook has been an excellent choice for my parents. No more virus issues. No hassle. It’s turned on every time, every day for them for the last 6 or 7 years without fail.

So impressed I got a few for myself. Been using their Acer brand. $150 new.
