I've been trying for a solid year to go full chromebook and I've failed for the following reasons. In theory - if I put Linux on it, it should be easier, that's on my todo. It also may be because I went super cheap [$250] for my replacement but here are my issues:

- GoPro video editing - always go to my Mac for this
- Managing files on an NFS: I have a NAS running at home and being able to drag and drop files quickly is easy on my Mac - a slow pain in the butt on the chromebook. The NFS and SFTP options are barely supported and cludgy
- Stability of Apps - VLC crashes on the chromebook, some of them just feel like the lack polish. A lot of the apps I end up using are android apps scalled. Fine for a $250 throw around airplane laptop, but I think I am going to keep the mac as a power user.

I only leave google reader and come to /. to post on stories related to UID length.

I think I was in 97/98? Maybe earlier, holy crap that's a long time ago.

Not only is this from 2009, but BBY has been doing this since at least 1998...
