Contemplating a cheap chromebook to use exclusively for financial

transactions. I've heard some of the best online security you can have is to do all your banking and investing with a chromebook, and never, ever use that chromebook for anything else.

Basically keep your email and web surfing totally separate from your finances.

Although I do have a couple of questions about that. Would I need two separate LastPass accounts...one for personal stuff and one for financial stuff so that they don't mix? I track all my spending and investments in Excel sheets...not sure how to do that going forward with just a Chromebook. I guess I could use Google Docs, but I wasn't sure if it could do the IRR calculations or not.

Anyway, if I can get a $200 chromebook for closer to $100, I'll probably get it.
