Has anybody tried the Microsoft Office Android apps on a Chrome book? How do they compare to the iOS apps on the iPad? Thinking of getting my girlfriend a regular iPad or a chrome book for Christmas.

She's going to end up using it mainly for consumption but will want to be able to use Gmail and Office for work once in awhile. We want to avoid using Google Drive for work because we have had formatting issues in the past when converting Word files and Sheets sometimes messes up our simple formulas.

I would be aware that I'm pretty sure you have to have an Office 365 sub to actually edit files on the ChromeOS/Android Office apps. Viewing documents is free.

ChromeOS is getting 10 years of update support.

Makes me even happier I bought the Framework Chromebook.

Cool, Chromebooks are basically the one consumer facing device/service where Google is knocking it out of the park.

Meanwhile, they just announced they're stripping the nest hub max's ability to make zoom and meet calls...
