Anyone got one, or getting one? I'm interested by the idea, but I know that for the first few years at least, the functionality is going to be kind of shitty compared to traditional computers. The idea of someone else storing my data also irks me a bit. If half of what they say is true about increased security, et cetera, they should be a good step forward though.

A rundown on Amazon of what Chrome Books are about (link).

Also, this thread seems like an excellent place for me to express my continuing disdain for Apple products. I met someone last week who had Blackberry's answer to the iPad, and it's fucking awesome. The iPad looks like a gimmick next to it.

If you know that its going to be shitty for the first few years why bother with it now? get one when its out of the shitty phase. Personally i dont like either the cloud storage or computing. Prefer to do everything locally.

With you on the apple products though. You just want to beat that smugness and air of superiority out of them with their own ipad.
