Some people need a Windows PC because of a certain program that only runs on Windows, I get that and understand that. But, it seems that 90% of Villagers that have a Windows PC, don't do anything that really requires a Windows operating system. I use a Chromebook 90% of the time and converted an old PC to Linux Mint for anything else (which isn't much).
The Chromebook never gets a virus, never makes you wait to do a download or an update (updates all happen in the background as to not bother you). The battery lasts 8-10 hours, it boots up very fast and is very secure. I've been using one since they first came out.
