interface is all I need for work out of the office.

“That said, the first generation of Chrome OS had its problems.

improvements to Chrome OS and almost every week sees new
improvement to Chrome OS, the Chrome Web browser, and Google’s
family of cloud-based applications that Chromebooks use in lieu of
traditional desktop apps.”
