If only they'd stuck a slightly larger battery in there for 10h+ untethered usage...

Never understood the point of the Chromebook. At least this one is only $250 though.

Yay?!?!?

Does anyone really care about Chromebooks?!?!

I don't know anyone that owns one, and I've never seen anybody purchase one. I think they're only for the Google fanatics. I'd be VERY interested to see the sales data regarding Chromebooks.

It makes me sad that Netflix constantly says they refuse to support Linux, probably because of too few users or DRM concerns. However, they support ChromeOS, an OS that no one I know uses or have used, and through a Chrome plugin, no less.

Why not just freaking release the Chrome plugin for Netflix on Windows, Mac, and Linux, so we can get away from having to use Microsoft Silverlight on the first two, and have one working plugin across OS?

Rant aside, this does look like a decent piece of machine. But I agree that the battery life is a tad disappointing, especially given the ARM processor and SSD. I'd state the usual "1366x768 resolution sucks", but for this price range, I can't really expect better. Maybe charge an extra $50 and add 1600x900 support?

Sambook Air. :laugh:

I have a friend that owns a Chromebook. It's pretty neat, I played with it a bit. I'd probably buy one of these for dicking around on the interwebs.
