7. There are plenty of touchscreen Chromebooks on Amazon for less than $300...

... some fold flat as well, so they can be used as tablets.

(I'm just using Amazon as an example here because everyone knows what it is. Places like Newegg have many inexpensive touchscreen and non-touchscreen Chromebooks as well.)

Many Android Apps now run on Chromebooks without any problems.

If I want to sort, crop, or edit cell phone photos on my Chromebook I simply plug my phone into it.

I actually prefer my Chromebook over my dual-boot Linux/Windows laptop for most uses, especially writing and web browsing, largely because the batteries last longer. It plays Netflix flawlessly.

I bought an Android tablet for software testing and discovered I disliked that form factor intensely, even with a wireless keyboard for touch typing.

The only downside to Chromebooks is they don't run full-fledged Windows apps such as Photoshop.

I hate to sound like an advertisement, but I got sick of seeing screwed up Microsoft Windows machines a long time ago. I won't touch Windows unless someone is paying me.
