Oh, I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, when you run into a task which does require the ability to run apps locally, though, a PC becomes a useful tool to have. I feel the same way about my iPad that you do about your Chromebook - it's great for a very large percentage of the computing activities I do. For the same percentage that it can't do, though, I still rely on my laptop PC.
