I use a Chromebook for everything and terminal to write all my code and I have a few servers on Vultr/Github/Bunny.net to host web apps which cost me about $40/month.
I normally buy domains in decade-lengths so I don't have to worry about paying for them or paying a renewal fee. Any apps I use on Chromebook are all free or I find it online for free.
Photopea.com or Pixlr.com are in place of Adobe Photoshop and even GIMP.
Google Drive does a good job of keeping all my documents.
BinCDN.com (my own custom built CDN) is great for my storage.
The most common online tool I use is a "replace all" for when I have to code something and replace an "all" of something. (http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/replace-text/ http://www.unit-conversion.info/texttools/replace-text/)
The reason I switched to a Chromebook full-time even over a Macbook is because it generally remains fast and I only buy Chromebooks that allow for an LTE Internet connection for which unlimited internet costs me about $25 a month on a grandfathered plan on T-Mobile.
Since I work remote, I often try to connect on some free Internet place... almost every fast food restaurant and big retail store has Internet availability. If my LTE isn't working great, if Xfinity is available, you can usually connect to an Xfinity Internet connection and they offer Xfinity WiFI packages for $20 for 30 days -- usually ends up being way cheaper than staying on a regular Internet-only plan ($60 - $100).
