This Laptops give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Great laptop, severely misunderstood product
Quick points:
- Yes, it DOES work offline. There are loads of apps and games that do work offline, and offline mode is coming to Gmail, Docs, and Calendar very soon (this summer)
- Web apps are nearing the usefulness of actual desktop apps
- The vast majority of people don't need Photoshop or Final Cut Pro, or a 4GHz processor
- Web apps are the future. They are compatible with any OS that has a browser, which is basically every OS
- Seems even more secure against viruses than a Mac
- No more paying for OS updates like you do with Mac or Windows
- Don't need antivirus software running all the time
- Open sourced OS is very technologically ethical, meaning more progress and more transparency in terms of what is going on inside OUR computers
- The browser was becoming an OS itself already for while, Google is just separating it
- Super fast start up time and long battery life are great pluses
- What about music/video offline? It...
2. Ideal for my 75 year old mother
About a month ago, my husband and I got two chromebooks: one for me and one for my 75 year old mother. I absolutely love it. It has all but replaced my desktop.
Momma is 75 and very nervous of computers. My parents have a Windows desktop, and she is always complaining about how slow it is, how it always wants to install updates, virus warnings, firewall issues, and lots and lots of features she'll NEVER need. All she wants to ever do is deal with their Gmails, check her bank account, read the news, and talk to us across the ocean.
When hubby and I found out about the Chromebook, the first thing he said is "THAT is ideal for your Mom!". It took about 3 minutes to set up from start to finish, and she was off to the races. She LOVES it!! It is just so easy. All she needs to do is flip it open, and 1 second later she can browse all she likes, or chat, or send an email. No updates to worry about. No viruses. No buttons to push or X-es to click, no Start button to...

REALLY great tool for Google Apps users
I purchased this notebook to evaluate its use for students in a K-12 academic setting, where students and faculty all use Google Apps as their productivity/communication/collaboration tool, so this review will address the Chromebook from that perspective. If you are new to the use of Google Apps suite of tools, this notebook might not be the best fit for you until you've experienced what GA for business, education, or enterprise has to offer. Most folks who are panning this device clearly were looking for something else upon purchase.
We recently have become a Google Apps school, where students in grades 2-12 grade have access to school GA accounts (with graduated privileges as they get older). Being an all-Mac school, we have certainly done our share of pondering the role of iPads in students hands. With the initial swell of popularity, I think that there has been a slight "pressure" to make the them fit as a tool that every student should have in their backpacks; as a...
