Chromebooks are lightweight devices - are they capable of coding and building full web projects?

Yes, Chromebooks work fine for web development. You can use browser-based IDEs like GitHub Codespaces or VS Code Web, install Linux mode to run full development tools, and manage Git easily. The only real limits appear with heavy local builds, but most modern workflows support cloud resources anyway.

It depends on your workflow. If you rely on heavy desktop apps like Photoshop or large Docker builds, it might feel restrictive. But for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or backend coding in Linux mode, Chromebooks are surprisingly capable and budget-friendly, especially for remote or beginner developers.
