If you don't mind Google knowing every single thing you do on your computer, Chrome and cloud storage is great. I prefer to own my own photos and not just give everything to Google.

I use software that will only run on Win 10 Pro and above, so I have to use it. The lesser versions don't have the ability to access a lot of RAM and several other restrictions that 90% or more of the users don't need.

Personally I HATE cloud computing. I prefer to store my files on my equipment and not on someone else's computer. Just remember, Apple, Microsoft, the FBI and even the CIA have been hacked. Dozens if not hundreds of banks and other business have been hacked.

It all comes down to what fits your computing needs. My wife is 100% happy with just her iPad and my Apple print ready printer. She on occasion uses my Win 10 Pro laptop but that is rare.

I spend all day on my Win 10 pro system in a tower with a lot of processing power no laptop can touch. But I run a business and it is churning on a project right now, as I surf the web.
