anyone using a Chromebook to run Durametric ?

I had a hand held Windows 10 device loaded with Durametric software but it just bit the dust . I have a Toshiba laptop loaded with the same software so I'm not dead in the water . To replace the Windows 10 hand held I'm thinking about going the Chromebook route . Any of you guys using a Chromebook with Durametric ? Good or bad ? While the laptop will do the job it is large/bulky to use in the interior of a vehicle . It just seems like the Chromebooks regardless of brand are a good size and bang for the buck . Thoughts ?

Look at a convertible.

Touchscreen with a keyboard that folds 180 turning it into a tablet.

ACER makes them ~<$300.00

I don't think you can run anything on a Chromebook that's not a Google App.
