I can understand the appeal. I have a 2018 MacBook air for that exact reason. Although it's slightly more useful becase having a proper terminal that can run Docker and stuff has saved my ass more than once.

I'd be down to replace it with a Chromebook if the model looks and feels as good as the air.
