If & When my MacMini goes belly up or is no longer supported (I will use Chrome Browser as long as THAT Browser still gets security updates), even though the MacOS may be done being updated, and can't go any further, I'd like a Chromebox.

But I do not like ordering such items ONLINE, preferring Brick & Mortars, like Best Buy, but they are not carried in the stores.

Can anyone see a reason, why just another Chromebook, could not be used as a desktop, wherever one has their current desktop sitting :-), enough inputs for STUFF like a USB connected printer, wireless KB & mouse, etc. etc.???
