Chromebook C423NA - for writing. I intentionally bought the lowest end model I could find at Walmart. I wanted it for a single task - writing - and it's perfect for that. It is terrible at most everything else.

Softball glove - my kid has been playing softball and asked me to help work on some of their skills. I'm not into baseball/softball AT ALL, but I've very much enjoyed my time outside passing the ball. It's a very relaxing activity.

EXIT games - a series of tabletop "escape rooms" that kept me and the kids occupied many days over the past year indoors.

Biscuit Joiner - I've long wanted this "luxury" tool for helping keep things aligned when gluing planks for panels... it has become one of my favorite assembly tools in conjunction with pocket holes to make butt join assembly as easy as Lego.

I'm at a similar decision point. What software are you using to write on the Chromebook?
Just Google Docs. I made a template for novel writing and copy it when I start something new.
I love biscuit joiners. What model do you have? I wish I could get a Lamello but they are insanely expensive. I have a Porter Cable that is actually pretty good, but I want something cordless.
