the worst thing is....google are selling these laptops for atleast $300.....

[mickmel]

@spyglass123 I'll admit, the price is higher than I expected. That being said, it's not Google selling them; they're just giving away the OS. Plus, the computers are bit more high-spec than I would have expected (though not by much).

since its just a browser, why not just use ur fone? do u really need this piece of shit?

[mickmel]

@tech4156 There's obviously a difference between this and a phone. If you think the two of these compare closely, I assume you don't use a computer for anything and simply always use your phone?

[tech4156]

@mickmel so tell me the difference apart from size. go on.

[mickmel]

@tech4156 Size and input (keyboard/trackpad) are 90% of it, certainly. Again, do you ever use a computer, or just your phone?

Storing all of my information online? With Google?? The same company that sells your browsing information to advertising companies?! Well, fuck that

Nice concept but I will stick with my PC

Honestly by this review I would not pay more than 50$ for it.

@mickmel well then its just as i said and u just verified it. So i dont know what ur arguing about. Also a blackberry has a keyboard and trackball so try getting your facts right. And for your info i use a coomputer AND phone
