Yes, I played with my daughter's chromebook - was considering doing just what you're suggesting - a few weeks later it died - well not completely - but is finicky enough that she can't use it for her masters work any longer (too unreliable) - so she went back to a 2013 MacBookPro... (they just work).
I recently bought a new iPad Pro - so after that investment, I'd really like to stick with it :) I do some drone piloting, guitar playing through my new Spark amp by positiveGrid... and the iPad is the right tool for me. I could have gone android - but I tired of the constant - which app / device supports which candy-of-the-month... hehe, I digress. Mostly, I just want one device that does it all... I could buy a MacBookPro or Air or whatever, but that doesn't work with my drone... I know, I know... first world problems. Thanks for the reminder on the Chromebook. Who knows, I may be back to that in a few months.
