As much as I'm loathe to admit it, my cheap Asus Chromebook is likely more than what 90 percent of humanity requires. And most of them could easily just get away with using a phone or tablet instead.

I'm an old school guy. I love a good tower with a pair of monitors and stuff to do my editing and 3D design. But even those intensive tasks are getting better on smaller form factors.

It's just not my world anymore. I've aged out of it.

I feel all of that. Currently driving an Intel NUC i5, and that's all I need. Hardly anyone on my block owns a PC, and if they do, it's ancient and won't be replaced.

This. You only need more than a Chromebook if you're doing programming, game dev, doing 3D modelling, professional photo or video editing, AI/ML work or music production.
