I've worked from home since 2014, and my strategy has always been to buy an expensive Mac to handle tasks efficiently. Recently I was frustrated about speed with lots of tabs open, and someone mentioned to me that if most of the things I do are just chrome tabs, then I'd probably get better performance with a less powerful Chromebook. After a little research I found out that I could get a MORE powerful chromebox, and three months later it is still blazing fast.Took a day or two to figure out how to do little things like keystroke commands, and the best extensions to use for screenshots and stuff, but 99% of my work is in web-based apps, and we use Google Workspace for almost everything, so it has been so awesome.
