Interesting that there is actually a thread on Chromebooks. I have the 64gb LTE version from attending this year's Google I/O conference. A small group of individuals are trying to find a way to hack the LTE chip for use on other networks (like Sprint.)
After the sticker shock goes away, (LTE model retails for $1449) it is actually a pretty damn slick device. Fortunately I did not have to pay for mine, but for those with extra cash to burn that are looking for a different experience, It can be worthwhile. for the few things I cannot do, i can use Chrome Remote Desktop to access my other computers. I have found less need for Remote Desktop as of late since I have Linux Dual-booted so I can still access things like Skype or use Wine to run windows programs if necessary.
Has anyone else had the chance to play with this device? It certainly is a beast and can take a major fall with no problems. The first week out of the box I had it come crashing down on the floor in the doctor's office when my little brother was throwing a tantrum at his appointment. I was worried that the screen or housing would have been utterly ruined, but there is not a scratch, ding or dent on it. Not that I want to repeat this impromptu test any time soon.
