Welcome to IWETHEY!

New ChromeBooks should be eating somebody's lunch.
I got a Toshiba ChromeBook 2 for $280. It's not fast, but its a very, very decent box.

It's $309 now.

My earlier comments on it are here.

Tablets are very limiting for anything other than "consuming content".

Cheers,
Scott.

Light, good battery life, fast, good battery life, decent screen, did I mention the battery?

Seriously, compared to any other lapper I've ever touched this thing runs just about forever. And between Google Docs and WordPress there's very little I actually need locally any more.
