There is a huge difference between a Chromebook and a Windows 10 notebook. Like the difference between a tractor and a car. You can do some of the same things with both, but their intended uses are completely different.

Well said Chris.
To extend the tractor analogy a bit, a Cbook could be thought of somewhere between a SCUT and a CUT. Not what you'd want if you had 5k acres to plow, but even many of the guys on here who own Big Iron comment, it's surprising how often the smaller/lighter versions get used.
I liken it to the difference between my F350 dually and most any passenger car.
My dually takes a lot more upkeep and is much more expensive, but when I need to haul 2 tons of whatever or pull a 12K trailer the passenger car is not going to cut it.
I keep windows laptops because there are just so many programs I need to occasionally run that are Windoze only that I would cripple myself without it.
