Hello,

Laptop is better option than Chromebook.
You can't install the full Microsoft Office software on a Chromebook. if you need advanced photo- and video-editing capabilities, you'll would require , Mac or Linux laptop. Chromebooks don't offer the graphics performance. Chromebook is good option if you just want to use Netflix, YouTube and Spotify and other entertainment portals. For college and study purpose, a laptop with lastest windows is best option.

I hope this helps.
