I'm very happy to see people speak up about the chromebook and chromebox, too many people poo poo it as just a browser with a keyboard. As you can see it can do much more and safely.
Can you buy a "real" laptop for the same money, yes you can, but that "real" laptop comes with many things you don't want. Things like a very bloated operating system, the need for virus and malware protection, updates that take over your PC at inconvenient times. There are Windows programs that do not run on chromebooks, but there online programs that can do mostly the same thing such as MINT in place of Quicken.
The programing world is going online, even Microsoft offers their suite on-line.
One thing to think about is that the EUA gives Microsoft the right to ALL your data on your PC to do whatever they want with it, you can not disable it. You can read the EUA.
