The Android MS Office apps have come a long way. They might be adequate. Is there support for Open Office, yet? I know that Paintshop Pro won't work under Chrome. So there's that. But then again, there's Snapseed, which is pretty darned good - and that should run under Chrome. I'd seriously consider a Chromebook, but not for another year or two. And the good ones are starting to come up in price, thinking they can compete with the big boys. I'm not sure they can - yet. But watch this space. Definitely worth watching.
