I need a new laptop and am tempted by a Chromebook due to their simplicity, stripped back nature and the fact that saving stuff to the cloud seems to be the future. I also use an Android phone which makes things easier. The laptop will almost exclusively be used for word processing, browsing and reading pdfs, so my only concern is their cross compatibility with Office, particularly Word. I know you can get the Android app and online versions of Word and suspect this will probably be enough as I wouldn't be a 'power user' by any stretch. Any experience of this and finding anything you couldn't do?
Anyone own a Chromebook or had experience of them for work use, particularly academic work? I'm starting a PhD in te autumn so this will be its primary use. Recommendations also welcome; I'm leaning towards the Pixelbook Go as my tolerance for large amounts of internet research into the differences between each laptop is low and they allow you to pay for it monthly over 2 years with 0% interest! https://store.google.com/gb/product/pixelbook_go?hl=en-GB
