Simple. An NTFS formatted partition external HDD can be read between Chrome OS and Windows but not Mac OS that requires ExFat.

Again, this doesn’t make it not compatible

Using a tablet may be more advantageous than a Chromebook

I actually love my premium chromebook. You get better screen, less constraint by processor and RAM, better speaker, built quality etc..

It's not just about hardware/specs but other perks as well

What is your premium chromebook?

LOL, never...

Because it really has nothing else and literally is a thin client, it can last longer than your Windows based laptop

This didn’t make ChromeOS better compatible to windows > macOS

to each their own, depending how much is it you're invested into the Windows ecosystem.

If you need native desktop apps badly, then I guess it's a better choice.

Using Acer Chromebook Spin 714 (i5 gen12 with 8GB RAM)

Very premium feel, and I guess it has its advantages in term of getting a touch screen, stylus, flexible screen - and ChromeOS itself is very easy to use (and instantaneous update and start-up time compare to the clunky Windows 11)

I guess the only thing I miss is MS Excel desktop version as it still works terrible on Web edition

How much you bought it?

haha yeah and very difficult to sell in second hand market. I feel it's good to use as a secondary device (one that you can bring around, the convertible touch screen with stylus also quite handy), but not your daily driver to do the heavy lifting
