Three days into my experience with a Chromebook and I'm kind of impressed. My old laptop took a poop about a week ago (only two years old) so I decided to give one of these a try. Kind of different using apps for everything but it's easier to use than my phone.
Anyone else using a Chromebook? What do you like / dislike? Have any tricks or tips I should know?

Been debating between a newer mac or possibly the surface pro 6? Chromebooks look awesome too!

I just picked up a Microsoft Surface Book 2. Its pretty sweet too. I have been using MacBooks for ages but I needed a windows device so it would be compatible to my work computers. The touch screen is awesome, and its just like a normal lap top if I want it to be. I did look into Chromebooks as well. They seemed nice, but as they run off android OS, that scared me off. I have had an IPhone for years too.

We have a couple chromebooks and also a Chromebox as a desktop for the kids. I love the simplicity.

Being android kind of helped my decision, been using android phones for years. My wife is the I phone wizard around the house, I couldn't get used to them. Thanks for the input!

Having worked for an MSP (managed service provider) and maintaining a few thousand computers, servers, laptops, tablets and chromebooks, I have come to dislike them. Less support, smaller share of what is out there, and when you have an issue it makes it harder to resolve.

Been years since I used windows or androids. Been extremely happy with Mac. Was looking into a Chrome book for a toy, but with it using the android bases, I still remember the older phones with all the running hidden apps and if nothing else, the massive power drain. Like plugging my life into the light socket everyday.
Oh, and the excessive invasion google get into your life

I appreciate the feedback gents.

<---- is a linux guy, but will tell normal people to stick to windows or mac. Better user support, easier to google your solution.
