I recently returned from 2 weeks in Scotland and then a week in Amsterdam. I didn't want to carry my heavy work laptop and my ancient personal MBP, so I decided to try a Chromebook instead of my personal MBP. I think it's the Acer Spin C714 or something. I use Google products extensively so I wouldn't miss much.

It feels kind of cozy using it, but it wasn't perfect.

I had a lot of problems with the network stack. It would randomly not see hotel wifi, or be unable to connect to it. Sometimes it would not see my Huawei mobile hotspot. I set up a personal VPN and it was impossible to set up on the Chromebook. For a while it was crashing a lot too. I'd open the lid and it would reboot. This seems to have been resolved by an OS update.

I'll probably continue to travel with it, but with much lower expectations. It was better than carrying another Mac. If I needed any serious CPU power, I could use my work laptop.

I took too much stuff though. I also took my IPad Pro and it was too much. If Apple were to make a comfortable and study keyboard stand for IPad, I'd probably just use the IPad as my personal laptop instead of the Chromebook, since it's CPU is superior.
