Been using a Chromebook since they came out, gave up on Windows years ago. You have to option to store files locally on the Chromebook, but I've never had a problem getting to the web.
I find Google Calc to be very close to Excel and the same with Google Docs and Word. I can read a Word doc and save it as a Google Doc, make changes and save it as a Word doc. Same with Calc.

If a local wifi is not available (or I don't trust it, which is most of the time) I use the mobile hotspot on my phone.
