Yes this is very expensive for a Chromebook.... But this thing is lighten fast.  I do telemedicine and have multiple tabs on 3 screens going on all at once.  There is zero delay.  Websites open up faster than any other machine I have used.  I can stream HD NFL games while working seemlessly on another screen.  The machine boots up from beong off in about 10 seconds and shuts down in 2 seconds.  It syncs nicely with my android phone.  If you dont want to wait for web pages to load and you want 3 monitors and a fast operating system. This is your pick.  If you want microsoft windows.... This is not your thing.  However the webbased microsoft 365 works awesome and is fast.
