There are so many possibilities. Like a candy store.
Any piece I want, but only 1.
I want to taste the flavor of a Chromebook, but with the backup possibility of Ubuntu.
My current personal (call it) net-book is an old Dell Latitude 12.1. It will run MS Office though, with reasonable alacrity.
But the Latitude and my Company whiz bang machine both use MS.
((((((((((( I am just tired of MS. I want to break from the tedium and live free! )))))))))
.... but I don't want to become a sycophant to Apple either.
So Chrome and Linux have a definite attraction.
Both in the same package have a delightful appeal. 2 flavors in one wrapping.
