If you get chromebook it is missing a lot of programs and features that windows and apple products have so it runs a lot faster but it still has a real keyboard with actual keys unlike a smart phone but the keyboard and mouse are not as good and it has no cd or dvd player
You can keep your old microsoft or apple computer to watch DVD movies
I haven't updated my hardware in over a decade expect to add an SSD. Not particularly fond of this streetshitter bloatware monstrosity using 1-2 3rds of my fucking RAM and CPU just to function.
Note that I'm basically software illiterate, I'm a more tactile techie, love me hardware, know about as much as I need to make it all work and keep it at optimal performance.
Updated to 10 just to be able to play Elden Ring. Fun game but I regret everything.
The reason I like chromebook is less features means less feature updates and less software bloat than microsoft windows but I do not know if that will be true for future editions
I am not familiar with apple products or linux
So you do not need much software knowledge to learn it
Lots of instructions online
Biggest problem is the mouse does not allow easy right clicking
Keyboard is missing keys like caps lock and I do not like the keyboard as much
