Chromebooks are a great option these days. It's so refreshing to use a machine whose entire state is automatically backed up and restored on login, and where updates are seamless and basically require zero thought or interruptions. The budget chromebooks are alright for very casual use, but for people used to having a bunch of tabs open all the time, they can get bogged down pretty easily. This one, though, breezes through my workload. It's quick, responsive, light weight, great battery life... just nice all around!
