Nothwithstanding the keyboard and slightly larger screen what can a Chromebook do that an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 can't do?

If you have either or both of the latter gadgets is it worth getting a Chromebook?
Thanks

    Nothing really. Basically all the Chromebook is, is a browser, which is fine if all you want to do is browse the internet (and use the chrome apps). The likes of the ipad and the android tablets can have apps (software) installed on them. Also some android tablets can have an optional keyboard attached to them.
