Does Anyone Use A Chromebook?

For as long as I can remember, I have always been a Windows user for computers. When I went to college, I learned how to use a Macintosh for my Business English in Accounting on a Masters Degree. In recent times, I found myself unable to use my Windows computer so I began to wonder if a Chromebook would serve simple purposes while on business trips. I, actually, found that the Chromebook is not that much different than from using Windows. Some functions that normally would work in Windows simply won't do on a Chromebook but you can get to the most basic functions. It doesn't use a hard drive like Windows or Apple but it will allow you to save files. They come with a webcam if you like to use those as well. Mine doesn't give that great of pixels for the pictures so I don't use it for that. However, it will work when you want to do a video chat. That I love for clients who can't travel tome or vice versa. Since you can't really install programs, it still gives you the option to go to the Chrome store and install addon applications so it's more or less the same. Also, the lack of hard drive as a typical Windows machine allows the Chromebook to shut down and boot up rapidly. I think they work best for students and for the older generations who just need a machine for lighter uses. I won't walk away from a Windows computer but I certainly do like a lot my Chromebook! Do you have one? How do you like it?
