I rarely see working (as in usable, encrypted and not total rip-offs) hotspots in Germany. Anywhere.
Not in Cologne (~1 million) nor Dortmund/Bochum (part of the 'Ruhrgebiet' metropolitan area, which Wikipedia estimates includes about 12 million people).
Guess not a first-world country?
We're probably on the same side: I would NEVER go for a Chromebook. Always online is stupid. Mobile sucks on trains here, so forget about data on the move. Hotspots don't exist. There are still lots of places that I visit that have little to no usable data connectivity.
I have no clue what the Chromebook is for, but it would be a giant failure in my circles and my environment.
