Howdy, Abigail! So, most education software now runs on a Chromebook — and many schools issue and run all of their classes on Chromebooks — so in most situations, the answer is yes a Chromebook beats a cheap Windows laptop. You'll need to ask your daughter what kinds of applications or programs...

So far I've liked the gestures on the OnePlus 6T best, but Samsung's full-screen gestures that still use the same Back Home recents is a nice compromise.

If you use your pinkie to prop up the phone in your hand, yes a heavier phone can strain your hand and give you an RSI. If you hold your phone at eye level so you're not straining your neck to look down, it could wear out your arm, too, but that's less of an issue when you sit down and can...

That's one I edited off a background from Google Allo! Pretty, right? Looks like a swimming pool, so it made a great summer wallpaper: https://photos.app.goo.gl/TG3R28zcbwLAVTpG6

Well, I just downloaded the Zapf Chancey FlipFont from Google Play that I used on a Samsung Captivate Glide years ago and it was immediately recognized and I could apply it. Now, excuse me, I think I need to go atone for this sin...

If you set the infinity wallpaper first and then set another wallpaper for your home screen (such as using Nova Launcher's wallpaper picker), you can keep the infinity wall on your AOD and lock screen while having something a bit more fun on the home screen itself.
