It's a shift to thinking about internet apps for sure but most of my life is lived in some sort of web app. Graphics, audio and programming is pretty much the only thing I do locally and I'll be evaluating a few online GIMP options and the programming stuff. Audio is still going to be local but that will be on something else. And since everything is up in some sort of online storage I don't need dropbox or other file sync tool.
Downside, internet goes down and so will I. But that might be a good thing. The most amazing thing is how fast I'm up from scratch. I had to "wipe" the machine to do the chroot thing and it's as fast as getting your Android phone up and running, minutes and I'm back. That's very enticing to me. And not being tied to this specific hardware is attractive as well. Any machine with an internet connection should work for me eventually.
Side note, if the pixel weren't as expensive as it is, I probably would have gotten one of those instead, but this is actually a pretty sexy machine.
I don't own a printer anymore so I won't be able to test some of that kind of stuff.
