Thoughts?

If you get one that has a USB port for a thumb drive and lets you store data -and- programs/apps/movies/books on it, making you not reliant on internet access, it'd be a great idea.

No USB port = no deal, in my opinion.

Chromebook
 
As far as i know a Chromebook using a different operating system and may take a bit of time to get used to. It does not run Windows so some of your familiar programs may not work. I opted for a small convertible laptop that you can flip into a tablet as the situation requires.

If you have a chromebook, you may want to consider subscribing to "Microsoft 365", which costs about $70 per year. But, you get access to use all of the MS Office programs online on all of your devices, and you get 1TB of cloud storage on a drive called "Onedrive".
