After a lifetime of window popups, slow computer startups, endless updates, etc, I have changed to Chromebook and it is amazing.  If in sleep mode, once awake it takes about 3 seconds to be at google.  If turning on the chromebook, I would say maybe 12-15 seconds to be at browser.  I love my apps and they are all here (Chromebook basically runs on apps).  My advice--do not be afraid of something new.  Easy to set up, easy to use, super fast to move around in it.  It is like my computer went on a diet and lost 50 pounds.
