I've been using a Chromebook as my only computer for several years. You don't have to be connected to the internet.
Most of them have tiny hard drives, like 32gb. Get a 128gb SD card for $20, stick it in, and it is your hard drive. If you need the space you can get more than one. No need to mess with a usb external drive.
Wife loves hers, virus free, it is fast for general surfing, emails, etc. I do business on a Windows computer.
I spent over an hour today trying to get my Windoze computers on line. I went to my Chromebook and was able to go online with a Windows 7 desktop at work, while Windows Remote Desktop Connection wouldn't work.
I was able to see that my controls stuff was ok.
Most comments on this thread have been on the mark. You do not need to be online to make them happy, but online is mostly how I use the Chromebooks. They really are much faster than any Windows machine I have ever seen.
