I would agree but for two things:

1. Chromebooks are either really cheap and slow, or really expensive (Pixel). There needs to be a middle ground.

2. Google doesn't let you create a local account on the computer without creating a Google account. I find that unacceptable for an OS.

I don't understand this problem. The entire premise of the Chromebook is that there is no such thing as a local account.
