Dude, except for gaming, Chromebook is the unironically the best laptop platform I have found. If you get one that's not cheaped-out on its hardware, then it does the simple stuff quickly, quite well, and without any extra nonsense, and then you install Crostini and you have a full-featured Linux environment with excellent driver support. If you want gaming you're screwed, but for everything else it's clearly superior IMO.
