Looking for opinions and experiences with a Chromebooks laptop.

I don't use a computer for a job as I am a retiree. Mainly I use e-mail, word processors, some spread sheets and mostly browsing. I like the idea of not worrying about viruses and memory in a cloud. But maybe I'm missing a whole lot that would make me miss my desktop.

virus are avoidable. just install a good internet security. i recommend avg. and if youre browsing online. avoid clicking ads and installing untrusted software.
