What are your experiences with Chromebooks?

This is very close to "This doesn't serve my needs. Therefore it doesn't serve anybody's needs!"

I had assumed that mech-eng had free will and was capable of disregarding my advice based on his/her needs not matching mine.

How long do Chromebooks last? Will you use them as extensively as an iPad? If you watch videos on them, how clear are the speakers? Can you listen to it while cooking dinner?

Thanks I will consider all the advices. I am mainly thinking one to discover new devices and technologies.
