NSA asset? I hear you who is he.. Doing the heavy lifting for sure.
you can also clear out a chrome book and install Linux(i like mint) The have plenty of RAM since Linux takes up virtually no space.
They are pretty solid laptops too as they are not wasting money on microsoft.
Have loved MINT version. Reminds of old windows/apple combo. Office Libre works fine and comes with it. You can save files as MS Word/Excel etc.
