According to our laptop expert
The Asus Chromebook C436FA-E10006 is a 14-inch Chromebook with a 360-degree foldable touchscreen. You can use it as a laptop for work or fold the screen into tablet mode to watch a Netflix series on the train. The Asus is equipped with a touchscreen, so you can swipe through your files and photos with your fingers. The laptop runs on Chrome OS. This means you can store your files in the cloud and use apps such as Google Docs and Spreadsheets. You can access the same files wherever you log in with your Google account. Would you rather use Office? You can also install apps such as Office 365 in the Play Store. Since you install programs directly from the Play Store, you're better protected against viruses than with a Windows laptop. And because Chrome OS is energy-efficient, you can easily use a Chromebook for an entire day without having to recharge it. The casing is entirely made of aluminum, so the laptop looks luxurious and can take a beating. Since it weighs 1.14 kilograms, you can easily carry it in your bag and take the Chromebook with you.
Note: Windows programs don't work on a Chromebook. Want to use Microsoft Office? Buy Office 365.

As a Linux and Mac enthusiast, I once switched to Windows because I wanted to do something with commercial software (Lightroom and Evernote+ScanSnap), and because my sister needed my Mac Mini just a little bit more than I did. Windows 10 isn't that crazy yet, but some things bother me, such as the bloatware from manufacturers, the sometimes inexplicable slowness, programs that all have their own update tool (or don't even update themselves), etc.
For that reason, I had been interested in Chrome OS for some time. I thought now that it can also run Android apps, and even Linux apps (via Crostini) should I be able to use it.
I like the laptop, and it is also very useful as a tablet because you can easily fold it and it is quite lightweight. It is also quite compact for a 14-inch laptop. Chrome OS, on the other hand, is a big switch in practice, and I must confess that I have regularly considered returning this laptop and swapping it for a MacBook. Some reasons for that:
All in all, Chrome OS is a "mixed bag". It is nice and fast, is updated automatically, no virus scanner needed, etc. So nice and low maintenance. Still, it's quite a switch, and you have to make compromises here and there if you were used to Windows or Mac. This is how I decided:
