    The model is for data to be off in the cloud, so without an internet connection, you have to plan to bring it down to the local system. I have used Apple Macs for years, and I have a Mac with the M4 chip. But nearly everything I do on the MAC can be done on the Chromebook. It comes with Microsoft Office abilities, something I didn't expect, but it's great. I may switch entirely to Chromebooks, they are hundreds of dollars cheaper than a MAC.

    So far it seems like a quality Chromebook. My only issue so far is more with the OS than the Chromebook. Apps run in mobile mode if they have not been designed to run on a Chromebook. That means it cuts the usable screen size down to a phone size.
