Opinions on Chromebooks
I won't need to use the storage on a chromebook as I have onedrive storage.
Only need a laptop to check office 365 emails, access onedrive storage, to write essays on word (and save them into onedrive), to research/google stuff and watch youtube.
Do you think a chromebook would be good for what I would use a laptop for?
Also, do you have to set up a google account for a chromebook or can you just use it as a guest?

Although the functionality you need is there I found a Chromebook very annoying to use. Mind you they may have come on since then. I would much prefer a laptop with its own software.
My sixth form had chromebooks so I am used to using them. Annoying thing is that they don't have a caps lock button but you can go into settings and change the search button to a caps lock button.
I was wonderng if a I could use a chromebook to google stuff, watch youtube, check emails etc without having t o set up a google account? Can I just set up a chromebook as a guest and still be able to get on the internet or would I have to set up a google account in order to use chrome
Yes, it would work for what you need. Personally I love Chromebooks ( Im using one right now ). They're quite light compared to a laptop, they're relatively cheap, and Ive dropped mine multiple times and its still running.
Im pretty sure you have to make a Google account to even log onto the computer, but thats free and easy to do.

Oh, ok thx you. I was hoping I wouldn't have to set an account up. Thought I could just login as a guest.

Why dont you want to set up an account?
Brand new Chromebooks make no sense when for the same price or less money you can have a £230ish used Dell Latitude E7470 off ebay. IE a premium business laptop that will run Windows 10 Pro or Linux as well as all your applications very nicely indeed.
BTW, get a headset for video conferencing.
