Chromebook because I just dont fucking care anymore.
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.
I was 100 into Stadia for gaming on my laptop before it was axed. I'm still bitter about that.
I used to play Serious Sam on Stadia on my (not overly fancy) Chromebook and it worked smoothly 99% of the time. All those games, yeah it was sad :-(.
at least I got a couple grand payback. i used that to get a steam deck which is pretty magical.
