I have had three iPads in the past.  Each time, they got "tired" after a couple of years and I had to replace them (battery, memory issues, etc).  I thought it was time to try a Chromebook.  So far, I am happy with the functionality of the device itself.  Screen is crisp, audio OK, keyboard fine although I am not quite used to it after a couple of weeks.  The main thing that I am adapting to is that the number of Android apps is just not as large as for Apple products.  A few apps I just cannot find at all.  Some of these are less-common apps, like for the security cameras I have in my house.  But the Major League Baseball app is not adaptable for a Chromebook.  I am happy with my purchase, but this takes some getting used to.
