Chromebook
 

I was just looking at some of the specs and it seems like its a $400 laptop with a $250 price point. I wonder how the OS is and if its portable enough to carry with you wherever you go.

I'm wondering what it can do that my phone can't. I'm in the market for a new laptop, and this might be an option.

Here's a cnet review. Seems like a pretty solid internet mavlchine and not much else.

Yeah, it seems to be basically a smartphone/tablet only on a PC.

I haven't used one since they were first released, but it was effectively just a Chrome browser. They've improved for there, but it's still a pretty specific market.

If you're invested in the Google ecosystem, and only need a lightweight laptop, it's a good buy. For anything more, I'm not sure.

I've played around with one at the little Fiber expo in Westport. I was less than impressed, even being a big fan of all things Google.
