&gt; Chrome books are the best college laptops for the vast majority of students.<p>If they&#x27;re not the best laptop for everybody outside of college, then they&#x27;re not the best laptop for college students IMO. I wouldn&#x27;t want my kids learning on something that next to nobody uses.<p>- How are graphics arts students supposed to learn how to use Photoshop, Illustrator and other programs that professionals actually use in the real world?<p>- How are CS students supposed to learn how to use the plethora of tools that don&#x27;t run in ChromeOS?<p>- How are business students supposed to learn how to use the full Office suite, which most of the rest of the world is using on Windows or even OS X?<p>The &quot;ton&quot; of apps is kind of a moot point since Windows and Mac both also have a ton of apps.<p>I don&#x27;t get your other point - you want to avoid issues with Word by using the &quot;Microsoft suite on an App&quot; (which presumably includes Word)?<p>&gt; THE ONE ISSUE is Printing.<p>There is way more than just that one issue I think, if we&#x27;re going to be completely objective here.
