Like any computer, Chromebook hardware sucks if you're buying entry level sub-$500 devices. The reputation for shitty hardware is generally from people who have only used entry level devices
Our standard fleet for our teachers is Acer Spin 513-2WH. They're exceptionally nice
Sure, but if you're spending a thousand dollars or more on hardware, you might as well get a Mac or PC that can run more apps. That's the reason people buy the shitty sub-$500 ones: because it ain't worth a thousand dollars if you can't run (insert industry-specific app here).
We're CLOSE to the future you envision, where everything is just a SaaS browser-based tool. But I don't think we're there yet, there are just too many exceptions for most businesses to go all-in on Chromebooks. I work for an MSP with a relatively diverse clientele (Mac and PC), and schools are the ONLY clients that use Chromebooks.
You're preaching to the choir, lol. I'm just saying the hardware on non-entry Chromebooks is outstanding these days. Everything else is a matter of time & licensing
