Ask HN: ChromeOS or Windows 10?

Hi,

I'm shopping around for a new laptop, & I see the cheapest ones are Chromebooks.

The deal-breaker feature I need is some sort of 'secure boot', so the motherboard can't be infected with malware.

I see ChromeOS & Windows have different approaches to do secureboot, & I'm wondering if the Chromebook version will protect me as well as the Windows implementation.

I also have a ton of Windows software that I don't know if they'll run on a ChromeOS- I'm thinking they won't.

What do you think?
