Don't forget that you're also paying for a near-12 inch screen and a keyboard. If you don't need those, then yes, Android makes more sense.

However, even Android requires more ongoing maintenance than ChromeOS. I love my Nexus devices, but they're always installing app updates, some of which I have to go and do by hand.

Android and ChromeOS devices do work brilliantly together though. I don't even think of it as 'synchronisation' any more, it's all so transparent. When I think back to times gone by, the way now mail, calendar, tasks, bookmarks, contacts, documents, outlines, project plans, secure passwords, music, notes, etc., even the webpage you were on, are all available from all devices seems almost magical.
