That's it. You can be editing that document you were working on, with your full software, file and desktop environment available, within a couple of minutes.
Compare that to switching from one Windows machine to another.

From reading the last few pages of comments, we find:
pluses-
1. Chromebook is cheap.
2. Doesn't require other or costly software.
3. Especially doesn't require the cost or time for Virus checkers or Firewalls or updates or new versions and such.
4. Interfaces seamlessly with the greatest Software Development of our time: Google.
minus's
1. Some people fear Google which gives us information, maps and Android, free storage, and "let me count the ways" it helps us.
2. Chrome isn't the old familiar Windows whom we love to hate with all its warts, but still it seems familiar though we never really understood it.
3. Mind you now, I still use Windows for the things that a Chromebook has not yet developed capability.
.
4, 5, 6, .... Finally, let us not underestimate the excitement that many of us feel at the chance Windows will give us soon for new adventure and excitement and money spent when Windows gives us the opportunity to update to Windows 10.
Gee the thrill!
