I don't have any plans to use Google Docs.  All I really need, for
travel, is a browser.  Thus the Chromebook.  Still, it's nice to have
the option of doing some of the other things that it can do...

You can do both.  To enable working offline, you first must enable
"sync to this computer".  Then the docs will always be local and
available.
