Should I get a Chromebook?

I've been looking for a good laptop, I found a really cheap Acer Chromebook 11.
I was wondering if I should get it or save up for a more expensive laptop.

are you going to use your laptop for more than browsing the internet?

I don't know, I heard it can run android apps, if it can't I'll install linux

EDIT: there are also chrome extensions that can run apk files

if you're going to use your laptop to play non-browser games (e.g. call of duty, undertale) then you should save up your money

I'm just going to be playing android games, and web games. Both of which can be played offline because I have the APKs and I can download the SWF file. I can also the chrome extensions. The laptop isn't just for games, it's also for stuff like watching videos, traveling, and file management.

all of which can be done in a browser, so i would recommend getting a chromebook. i'm not really a buff on computers but i do know enough that the chromebook is best for, well, chrome

ok I'll get a chromebook then, file management can be done though drive, and offline though chrome os, I did some research on youtube about how to do stuff on chromebooks such as gaming and video editing
