I replaced an old Android tablet I used to use with a Samsung Chromebook Plus. I use it to do light web surfing and light office tasks when i am away from a desktop.
The chromebook is good for this with the following caveats:
-Chrome OS is web-centric. So you technically arent going to be using 'apps'. Rather, you are going to be using the same extensions that you would download and install inside your Chrome browser on a regular desktop.
-For the newer chromebooks (like mine), you can install Android apps, and they seem to run very well if you would rather use apps as opposed to web browser extensions. However, at least at this point, the android apps cannot be installed/moved to the sd card, so, if you buy a chromebook, make sure it has a decent amount of internal memory.

Depends on what plugins, but probably not. Sounds like you need Silverlight or something Windows/IE-related.
