simple laptop solution for RV travel
I hope this is the right forum. I looked at Tech Issues but that seemed to concern more mechanical problems. I looked at Workamping but it didn't seem to have any traffic. We're planning on staying...

If all you want to do is surf the web, E-mail via WEB mail interfact. pay bills and such.. CHROMEBOOKS rule
If you need to run software "locally" like for exampal navigations software.. Or writing the great american novel. Chromebooks not the best choice.
But if all you do is world wide wait (WWW) stuf, they rule.
Advantage.
I have both a windows device and multile chromebooks... I use the Chromebooks fairly often on "Public"wi-fi... I've had attempts to infect them.. They attempt did not go well since it was directed at windows.. Units whent into constant restart loops.. Imanaged to get into Settings,,, advanced, POWER WASH and suddenly (well under 2 minutes) the unit was Brand new, no longer infected.. I logged into a protected wi-fi and all my installed apps. bookmarks and such started reloading.
Any files stored on the tiny memory were lost (I now do long term storage on removable media (Micro SD card) but due to the word "Tiny"not much was lost and all of that was backed up... via a different method. (Mostly some boilerplate responses for some facebook/forum posts asking for help with products I have figured out how to help with)
Re- Boilerlates.. Did one of those yesterday only had to talk the poor person through it since we were NOT on line but on radio... I "Store" solutions to common issues.. This one was not common.. but I once had it and recalled the "fix" (Cure)
