I'll never buy another chromebook again. While the battery life is great and the weight is exceptionally light, the ability to to do anything but get onto the internet is vastly lacking. In addition, after only 5 years I now have a perfectly good laptop, such as it is, that will no longer receive security updates, and the message from Google? "Go buy another one." Talk about planned obsolescence. It's nearly impossible to install another operating system that will continue to be updated. This is exactly what's wrong with out current "economic" system - companies produce the cheapest junk they can convince us to buy while making it obsolete as quickly as we'll tolerate, all in the name of grabbing the almighty dollar. No more Google.
