it's a chromebook dummy (Score 1)

The Chromebook is great but you have to appreciate it for what it is rather that what it isn't. It is a simple simple, low cost device that most people can accomplish 99% of their normal web tasks on. Browsing the web, email, google docs, facebook etc. It is not a gaming machine or a music device or a graphics workstation. It's a $250 dollar web appliance you can throw in the trunk of your car and take everywhere with you. It requires no maintenance, updating, virus scanning or backups. All your files are synced to your google account so you could smash it to pieces if you wanted and when you log onto another Cromebook you pick up exactly where you left off. I toss mine in the trunk of my car so I have access to a computer and ssh everywhere I go. I'd rather this low cost device get stolen rather than my $1,700 MacBook. My old CR48 Chromebook is the first computer I grab when I'm watching TV or need to shoot off a quick email. I'm much rather boot this thing up in 8 seconds and type away rather than send an email on my phone, or iPad or wait for my laptop to boot. It augments your normal computing environment, it's not a replacement for it.
