I think this is a really cool laptop although I do wish it had more like at least a wallpaper you could look at. For me, I may not need any other things then the web. Most of the time on my regular laptop, I spend time on my web browser. True, I do spend time doing other things to like, playing music on my iTunes. Although, all the disadvantages I do think this computer is pretty unique and cool.
I love my chromebook, true it's not the fastest, but it's minimalistic and does a lot with what little it has. And I do really enjoy having to endure a boot up time
@iRemco1 It will be similar to android. In android all functionality besides calling is in the google app store. In chromebook all functionality besides web browsing is in the google app store (which will be not the the same as android but similar)
You know, I was satisfied with my Chromebook for a couple of days, settling on the idea that the benefits of such a computer for its simplicity and no-nonsense operation outweighed the inconvenience of a cheap, slow, nearly useless Atom processor, but then a Google Chromebook Ninja "helped" me, wasting hours and hours more of my time because she refused to acknowledge it was the processor, instead blaming my connection.
Lol at the beginning. What I do if powerup my MacBook, wait twenty seconds, click Safari as the dock appears (which takes one second), and bam, Safari is there.
The Chromebook won't suit everyone, but a lot of people only want to access the internet to check their Gmail, read the news and edit the occassional Word doc. For people like that this product is perfect. This definitely has a market. As for people that say their desktop starts up quickly, how often have you taken a desktop computer on the train with you, or to the coffee shop?
Pointless, my Desktop boots from power on to opening chrome in around 15 seconds, because a) im not a moron that has 300 start up programs, you can edit startup services with CCleaner. and b) Solid state FTW.
Most people can pull up the web on their smart phones in under 10 seconds already..... Plus, if I wanted a faster boot time, I could configure my laptop to only start specific programs on boot. Its gonna be a hard sell if all it has is a fast boot time. Although, I guess if they keep it simple, it could be market towards people just looking for the basics in a computer...

This product may seem pointless, but its more directed to your parents, older people, and the "web-only" people (facebook, youtube, twitter, tumblr kind of people). This is all they really need, to them, they think desktops that cant move and laptops that are expensive to do their simple tasks is stupid. Ergo, we might not like this, but other people will.
@TangyLemondrop But that's also if they want something cheap that runs everything they're used to running, including Skype, Office, and anything else they or their friends might typically run on their computer.
If Google is trying to impress me, and I AM willing and wanting to run just the web, they should have damn-well put in a processor that gets me "Fast Web". And I think they changed this ad, because I don't think that punctuation was there before.

You know what to Do If you want quick smoothly and boot in less than 10 seconds PC without buying a "chromium" Pc?... Unistall Windows and Put Linux or Linux distros (I recommend Ubuntu 10.10 or 11.04)
Every single person who is mad about this doesn't understand how the market works. Not every person needs a gaming computer. We're slowly finding out that not every person wants even a basic computer- they want something even more basic with easy access to the few things they want
Let's pay MORE for much less. $499.99 in Canada for one of these pieces of garbage. OR $299.99 for a 2" bigger screen, 2 GB of Ram more and a REAL FUCKING computer that actually runs everything you need.
You don't need to be a techie to know that this is absolute garbage just made to get you to spend your money.

You can buy a tablet for less than $100 that runs on Android and you are not tied down to something big like this or under Google's eye. And you control where your information is, and can transfer it to other devices.. I just think this idea is a little behind the market.
@SpecialForcie Kmart has a special right now, and I found a few on Amazon. They are running about 7in with Android 2.2. I found some on ebay too. If you want faster speed and more features the Flytouch Superpad 3 is a good one. Big Lots has a Pandigital for $70.00 that is what I got but I need to be able to use a ethernet port for work.
my computer only takes a minute to boot up. I can open Google Chrome as soon as windows 7 logs in which takes.. 5 seconds? I can't play skyrim on this chromebook thing either.
Do they think im an idiot? all the problems described can be fixed by not being one and cleaning your startup folder....my desktop goes from no power to ready to use in about 17 seconds....omg 17 seconnds im gonna kill myself...firstworldissues.
Thats really quick tho, Im on a gd computer and it takes 25 seconds to boot, however when I am in windows I can instantly do stuff. (no apps take up enough load time to be noticeable). Ofc if I'd hybernate my pc Id be online within 10 seconds.
@dnbmania Yeah I spend a lot of time on the internet too but having a computer that can only run the internet and not much else would just make me feel...naked. Its like getting heavy steel armor for the upper part of your body then putting on a pair of leather chaps for the rest. It makes no sense!
@XxToHellAndBackxX You can actually do a lot with the app's on there. I wouldn't personally buy it because for that price, your could get a proper laptop. If it were cheap (<£200) then it's a nice option for the house. And to your metaphor, leather armour would be lighter than steel, which may SUIT THE JOB AT HAND. :P
@rightfight100 Except in schools all you really need is word/spreadsheet/presentation processing and those are available on the "Cloud"/Skydrive/Apps for Chrome. And it probably won't be long before businesses get their bespoke software created a Chrome App. It's not a media suite... it won't replace PCs for creating circuit diagrams and film editing. At least, not for a while.
@3mptyLord No, I was talking about what the guy stated. He stated "Who the fuck would buy a PC just for the internet?" He wasn't talking about no apps, or document apps, he was talking about a PC with the purpose of the internet, and the only the internet.
@Officialshit1 this is a stupid idea...they cost as much as a laptop and only have internet access. A business has very little need for something that only goes on the internet and neither do schools. We all have phones and a lot of us have tablets and notebooks that also wake from sleep instantly =/ . This just proves that you cant put google on anything and know it will be good. Something like this shouldnt cost more then 100$.
@XxToHellAndBackxX I get fed up when I have to get to something ASAP! and I have to wait... and wait... and wait... THEN get on the internet. This has fast wake up and instant internet acess and it obviously has more feature then just fast wake up and browser speeds.
@XxToHellAndBackxX why do u think they call macs macs and not pcs? its because its a brand name and of course a computer that u buy for urself is personal
@XxToHellAndBackxX Not really. While it lacks the sort of offline stuff that computers can do, there are probably online tools (somewhere) that let you do all of that stuff anyways.
@a1ananth The appeal of a quick start-up plus a device like this which has 3g could be very appealing. Or if your work is almost totally online and you have no need for online type applications than there's your market.
@rogan2134 it's not being marketed as a desktop replacement or a power laptop. But it can fill some functions of a higher powered computer, like typing documents, and working with spreadsheets (through google documents) or administering your website, etc.
your online content cloud is what drove netbook popularity. This is essentially a better netbook. Worth the extra money? Hell, it's cheaper than the motorola xoom or ipad 2, PLUS it comes with 200 MB/mo 3G from verizon. Get THAT with your Ipad!
@d3ejmz if it's not meant to replace a power laptop, i wouldn't want to carry around the laptop AND the "better netbook". although i agree about it being cheaper/better than the mentioned products, but it doesn't take much to beat an ipad
i think i will pass on this, for 70 bucks more i just bought a dual core 3.1GHZ with 8 gigs or 1333mghz ram and a 450 watt psu and a Nvidia GT430 Graphics card and it can play just about anything but COD Black Ops and other games that require a quad core processor. So no thanks on this pos.
@MattIntellectual Your computer doesn't max out 4 GB, your motherboard does. Judging by your computer model, it sounds like a laptop. I honestly have no idea how to change a motherboard out of a laptop, but if you get that done, change the motherboard, and you will be able to add more. I would recommend getting a desktop, and adding whatever you want inside it. You can build an amazing desktop if you have $600 to spare. If not, just buy and Alienware laptop. I hope my advice helped you. :)
Windows 8 boots up in 6 to 8 seconds. The 6 and 7 mark is mostly a very rare exception but I wonder how long that quick boot will last as PCs get very slow booting up over time. I really wished Chrome OS was tablet optimized.
@yandirtty21 Not everyone is rich like you, to leave the computer on all the time, and to replace a computer every 5 years because it wears out the components. Plus it gets slower the longer you leave it on.
@miketh2005 Desktop computers are built to remain on daily. I have had a computer for 10 years straight basically. If you have 12 gb of Ram like me, you don't even notice a speed change.
@yandirtty21 You much be rich, then, because you just wasted your money. You don't need anymore than 4GB for non-gaming. RAM is only for running multiple programs at once. With 4GB you can have, like 500 browsers open with no slow-down.
@miketh2005 Money has nothing to do with it. It costed me $87 for the 12GB upgrade. You don't have to be rich to own any kind of computer. I have 12 GB of Ram so I never have to worry about slow speeds. 4 GBs is nothing, that is considered standard nowadays. I do everything on my computer except gaming. I love speed, so I utilize everything I can get my hands on. You should try it.
@yandirtty21 You're still not getting it. Like I said before, RAM is for running multiple programs at once. If you are not playing games, you don't need all that RAM. It's the PROCESSOR that makes things speedy. What processor do you have? Anyway, I've never heard of a 15 year old male in the USA that doesn't play video games, unless they are gay (no offense, just sayin), or Amish, lol. I know of a kid who lives on the streets and still plays video games at Gamestop every so often. :P
@miketh2005 I have a AMD Phenom II x6 Core. The CPU of the system is the "brain" of the computer. The more Ghz = The faster the computer can perform tasks. RAM is also integrated with speed. I play video games on my Xbox. Computer games suck. I know what I'm talking about. I run a business where I build and sell computers. The more RAM you have = how much temporary memory your computer can handle at once.
@yandirtty21 Exactly. That's what I was telling you. :P Computer games don't suck, you just aren't playing the right ones. Computers are the ULTIMATE gaming machines and consoles are just holding gaming back. It's a great disturbance to the video game industry. We could have 10x more realistic graphics than we have now.
@miketh2005 some people work more than play...or maybe go out and do something good for someone aside from creating jobs for game creators...what good comes out of you playing video games except for your own personal pleasure....ever wonder why morals are sinking...profanity is accepted...violence is part of everyday life.....unless you are playing a "G" rated game......you are part of the problem
@88bluemoons You must be some 60 year old who doesn't understand video games at all. G rated game? LOL There is no such thing, btw. In my city, we play video games all the time, might as well call it the geek city, mostly everyone who is under 35 does. And guess what? The only violence here is by the poor (i wanna say mostly black, but dont wanna sound racist) people who don't even play video games because they can't afford it!
@88bluemoons Profanity? They are just WORDS, who the hell decided there would be "bad" words, anyway? How SUPID when you really think about it. Only religious nuts care about that anymore. And again, violence is not part of everyday life. It's mostly done by the druggies and poor people. People who get mixed up in the wrong crowd. Some of them might play video games, but it's not like you play video games > you become a druggie / poor person. If it was like that, no one would be buying games.

Some of them might play video games, but it's not like you play video games > you become a druggie / poor person. If it was like that, no one would be buying games.
@88bluemoons I think most people who play video games work more than play, how else would we pay for the video games? LOL Doing good is boring, sadly. We would rather support others who do good than do it ourselves, because I know I, speaking for myself, would get too depressed doing charity work to the point of suicide. My Mom does have Bi-Polar, but I'm fine when I'm having fun. You have to understand not everyone has YOUR personality to go and do good stuff, all our brains are different.
@88bluemoons All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. I recall a scripture saying there is a time to work and a time to play, a time to laugh, etc. If you work, work, work all day you are GOING to get burned out eventually. That's where games come in. :) It's just another form of recreation. I'm sure you watch TV or a movie. You are on the internet, so you browse the internet for recreation probably, so instead of that, we play games, and there is nothing wrong with that.
@88bluemoons All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. I recall 1 scripture saying there is a time to work and a time to play, a time to laugh, etc. If you work, work, work, you will eventually get burned out. You need to have fun sometime. I'm sure you do some form of recreation. TV, movies, cards, your on the internet, so maybe you browse the internet for fun. Instead of that, we play games, and there is nothing wrong with that.
@88bluemoons As generations continue, everyone will play games, because it's the ultimate form of entertainment. Morals are sinking because the world economy is messed up, you tell me why there is even such a thing as a bad economy. There should be 1 world government if you ask me, that way the economy is controlled, but that's another story. We play games that are FUN, not just violent games, just like people watch movies that are good, not just violent.
That was definitly not 10 seconds.

Show it on an actual chromebook, instead of showing some lame animation that doesn't prove anything.
Also, when I turn on my laptop, it's ready in about 2 seconds. I don't turn it off, but just close it and let it go to standby.
I just don't see any significant reason to use a chromebook yet.

@rightfight100 Except in schools all you really need is word/spreadsheet/presentation processing and those are available on the "Cloud"/Skydrive/Apps for Chrome. And it probably won't be long before businesses get their bespoke software created a Chrome App. It's not a media suite... it won't replace PCs for creating circuit diagrams and film editing. At least, not for a while.

rightfight100 3 months ago
@Officialshit1 this is a stupid idea...they cost as much as a laptop and only have internet access. A business has very little need for something that only goes on the internet and neither do schools. We all have phones and a lot of us have tablets and notebooks that also wake from sleep instantly =/ . This just proves that you cant put google on anything and know it will be good. Something like this shouldnt cost more then 100$.

@rogan2134 it's not being marketed as a desktop replacement or a power laptop. But it can fill some functions of a higher powered computer, like typing documents, and working with spreadsheets (through google documents) or administering your website, etc.
your online content cloud is what drove netbook popularity. This is essentially a better netbook. Worth the extra money? Hell, it's cheaper than the motorola xoom or ipad 2, PLUS it comes with 200 MB/mo 3G from verizon. Get THAT with your Ipad!

@MattIntellectual Your computer doesn't max out 4 GB, your motherboard does. Judging by your computer model, it sounds like a laptop. I honestly have no idea how to change a motherboard out of a laptop, but if you get that done, change the motherboard, and you will be able to add more. I would recommend getting a desktop, and adding whatever you want inside it. You can build an amazing desktop if you have $600 to spare. If not, just buy and Alienware laptop. I hope my advice helped you. :)

Windows 8 boots up in 6 to 8 seconds. The 6 and 7 mark is mostly a very rare exception but I wonder how long that quick boot will last as PCs get very slow booting up over time. I really wished Chrome OS was tablet optimized.

yandirtty21 5 months ago
@yandirtty21 You much be rich, then, because you just wasted your money. You don't need anymore than 4GB for non-gaming. RAM is only for running multiple programs at once. With 4GB you can have, like 500 browsers open with no slow-down.
miketh2005 5 months ago
@miketh2005 Money has nothing to do with it. It costed me $87 for the 12GB upgrade. You don't have to be rich to own any kind of computer. I have 12 GB of Ram so I never have to worry about slow speeds. 4 GBs is nothing, that is considered standard nowadays. I do everything on my computer except gaming. I love speed, so I utilize everything I can get my hands on. You should try it.
yandirtty21 5 months ago
@yandirtty21 You're still not getting it. Like I said before, RAM is for running multiple programs at once. If you are not playing games, you don't need all that RAM. It's the PROCESSOR that makes things speedy. What processor do you have? Anyway, I've never heard of a 15 year old male in the USA that doesn't play video games, unless they are gay (no offense, just sayin), or Amish, lol. I know of a kid who lives on the streets and still plays video games at Gamestop every so often. :P
miketh2005 5 months ago
@miketh2005 I have a AMD Phenom II x6 Core. The CPU of the system is the "brain" of the computer. The more Ghz = The faster the computer can perform tasks. RAM is also integrated with speed. I play video games on my Xbox. Computer games suck. I know what I'm talking about. I run a business where I build and sell computers. The more RAM you have = how much temporary memory your computer can handle at once.
yandirtty21 5 months ago
@yandirtty21 Exactly. That's what I was telling you. :P Computer games don't suck, you just aren't playing the right ones. Computers are the ULTIMATE gaming machines and consoles are just holding gaming back. It's a great disturbance to the video game industry. We could have 10x more realistic graphics than we have now.
