You can work on a spreadsheet, document, watch a video off-line.
When you reconnect to the internet your changes get updated automatically. Battery life is 8-10 hours. I just close the cover when I'm not using it and recharge it about every 2nd or 3rd day.
If you drop your chromebook (or it gets stolen) all you need to do is get a new one and sign in. That's it, everything comes back. BTW, if it is stolen your data is secure since it is encrypted and it will ask to re enter your password when it sees a new network.
While you're on line, everything you enter into the sheet or doc is saved automatically, right up to the last letter.
You can also sign into a Windows or Mac with your Google ID and Password and continue to do what you did on your chromebook.
