Google slow, limited, browser-only, cloud-centric laptop platform is now the most powerful and capable user platform on the planet.Yeah, I said it.Apple fans laugh at this idea, saying that a MacBook Pro can run the Chrome browser and gain all the benefits of a Chromebook, as well as all the benefits and leading-edge content-creation tools of a far more elegant, better designed and better engineered device.Windows users carp that Chromebooks are cute, but not serious business tools.
The Surface Book 2 is also a tiny laptop, they say, but a real computer.Linux developers concede Chromebooks are interesting but argue they can&t be used for software development.
