Bring in a Windows laptop, and they aren't exactly going to be throwing money at you either. Besides, computers depreciate very quickly. It seems to be an eternal phenomenon of people trying to resell their computer for close to what they paid for it a few years ago, only to be shocked that it is nearly worthless. I would be very reluctant to buy a laptop from a pawnshop, I might simply be buying someone else's problem.
"Chromebook pundits" do in fact exist. That's not really in dispute. One need only point to the articles written by people who insist that the Chromebook is a bad idea for everyone. If it's not for everyone, it's therefore not for me, so if I find that it meets my needs, I must be mistaken. It would be just as mistaken for me to stridently insist that the Chromebook is right for everyone.
