Oh, someone will do a virus for Chromebooks. They are just small user base.
Spyware and only good value S/H at €150 if a good enough spec for Linux. Barely better than a €200 10" Android tablet with €12 BT keyboard.
The original design goal was a Graphics Terminal for Google Web based services implemented with essentially a Chrome Browser. Chrome OS is a crippled cut down Linux they keep having to add to because an Always-Connected Browser as a laptop doesn't actually work. It's crazier than FireOS, which really just replaces PlayStore and Goolgle surveillance on Android with Amazon. See also dreadful Android TV and Fire TV based TV sets that are like badly implement tablets with no touch and TV channels as an after-thought.
In nearly 25 years I've had less problem with Linux drivers than Windows and in last 8 years no issues at all. My SSD Linux boots faster than Android on anything, though my HDD based Laptop is much slower to boot.
