@namechanged, what do you think, is it worth it to buy this for the light user? @ 250 bucks!?
At $250 - Finally they dropped the price.

When I first saw it - the first one, I thought it was a cool idea, but then I installed a Virtual Chrome OS, and I found it really useless.

Its like using a PC with ONLY google Chrome. I am not a fan of google docs, I like MS much more.

What do you define light user?

Wouldn't some people looking at a Chromebook be better off with something like this?
http://www.amazon.com/HP-Touchsmart-11-E010nr-11-6-Inch-Touchscreen/dp/B00E3KQWIC/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1383701241&sr=1-2&keywords=hp+11+laptop
If your not into touchscreen then your left with a worse processor: AMD A-Series Dual-Core A4-1250 1.0 GHz (1 MB Cache)
