Cab that is a valid question and my answer is because that's what I am used to . Probably not a GOOD reason but I am a creature of habit
. I have looked at Chromebooks and what has me puzzled about them is they seem to have small amounts of memory and HD space . But maybe it's not needed ? And I like a larger screen in the arena of 15 " to 17 " the Chromebooks seem to be smaller than that .
I should clarify I use a laptop with 99 % of my usage being checking emails and searching the web so I really don't need the full capability of a laptop . I guess I may fall into the category of an old dog trying to learn a new trick
with a Chromebook or other device . I'm open to hear suggestions on devices .
