The nice thing about Chromebooks is that they don't really require any special software. Just web apps of the things you need. Though I guess you could say that about any OS at this point. In my case I'm using it in the context of a master's degree, and it's more than enough. I use Google colab for assignments and sharelatex for any reports I have to write. It works quite well and the battery life is amazing. I also don't care if it gets stolen.
