I find it hilarious that I can have this entire operating system running on my computer just by installing the Chrome web browser. The app screen is so pointless -- because I have actual programs installed on my computer!
People here may be not get it but people didn't get the iPad and it's one of the most successful consumer electronics devices in history. Netbooks running XP are slow and crappy, this is using a SSD Drive so is super fast, light, has 3G and most chrome apps have offline modes if needed.
With the state of upload speeds at the current moment in time, for someone who wants to have music on their chromebook and therefore the cloud it will take them like 3 weeks to upload if you have a fairly large collection... Storing everything on the cloud is stupid especially when people don't have the internet speeds to support it. The data packages for 3g to stream your music are ridiculous, why would I pay like $50 a month to stream 300 songs when I could pay 0$ and play infinite.
Maybe microsoft will come out with a laptop specifically for Office so I can carry 2 seperate machines around instead of the stupid old way of having ALL-IN-ONE. I can't Wait =]
@NerdLogs that's not a bad deal. i know people will gawk at the 100mb being not very much, but i understand that its a secondary access when your forced to be out of a wifi network

The pricing of the Chromebook is ridiculous for the hardware it provides.

Only 8.5 hours batterylife?! Why? It's a very-very-VERY simple OS, and it need that much power?
Or samsung put a worse battery in it?
