On a side note not sure what windows laptops you've used but my Surface Pro starts faster than some Android devices I've used, and haven't had a virus on windows in nearly 10 years. But to each their own, I'm interested in a Chromebook as well, but not because I'm trying to ditch windows.
Thanks for the feedback on Lightroom mobile. One more question if I may. Does Lightroom mobile work when the Chromebook is off line?
In fairness the Windows notebooks I've used in the past have all been very old, this will be the first time I've spent real money on a notebook as now i have a real need for a better mobile notebook device.
Boot times - I have an almost new Lenovo Yoga at work but the boot time for what I want a device for is way to slow. I'm looking for almost instant on performance from a power off state.
I'll be traveling a lot more and often wont have reliable internet connection, I dont want the update downloads and AV definitions updates that Win demands but my device needs to be secure.
Image editing I have covered at home and already have Adobe CC on the allowed 2 machines. On the road i dont need full feature desktop Apps and dont have budget for additional licences.
And find i'm just falling out of love with Windows, Microsoft have sold me two duds the original Surface RT and a Windows phone. Now i have an Android phone find myself drifting Google's way for a mobile solution. I'm currently looking at smart home devices, originally was planning on Amazon Alexa but now drifting to the Google Home product. If i get a Pixelbook can see I'd finish up with a Pixel Phone in the next 6-12 months as a replacement for the horrid Huawei device but thats another story.
