That has been my approach as well which is why I have 3 old laptops that I use to display screensavers kind of like have a lava lamp that is on all the time! That is why I am thinking of a Chromebook that I can take with me if I travel or the power goes out. I was surprised that I could buy one for under $200. And I do have a Goggle account, a Pixal phone with Google Fi as my provider, Google Drive with two TB and a paid youtube account. So for me it will work. <w>

Then repeat again in a few years. I do not recommend my approach.

So I am thinking about ordering a Chromebook. Anybody using one? I would appreciate any feedback or advise / warning about them. <w>
