Indeed. One of the big selling points of Macs was that they weren't running Microsoft Virus Studio, and didn't turn into a filthy pit of malware when handed to someone without a degree in computer security.

Chromebooks are probably more secure than Macs.

Do they all still have abysmal screen resolutions? All the ones I keep seeing have resolutions from the 1990s.

The one I got my mother has 1920x1280. I set that as a minimum requirement, because the cheap Windows junker I bought her four years ago had that resolution.

That's good to hear - actually a better resolution than my 2012 MacBook (should have got the higher res one but with DVD drive).

What make/model is that Chromebook, out of interest?

Several Chromebooks have FHD IPS displays; the HP Chromebook 13 is available with a 3,200 x 1,800 display.
