There is zero maintenance with chrome. Updates every 6 weeks. No virus concerns. 4 second boot time and all day battery on laptops. I am looking forward to getting the Chrome box with a nice monitor or 2.

You're pretty much limited to Google Docs. Works nicely for writing text, spreadsheets are a bit underdeveloped. If you use Excel to make diagrams and stuff, you'll probably find it lacking.
I have had my a Chromebook for two years. I like it a lot. Great to surf with and such, but I wouldn't want it to be my only computer.
I'm probably gonna flip the dev switch and install Crouton, which lets you run both Chrome OS and Linux simultaneously. I feel like I need it since I've been getting into programming a bit.

I'll never go back to Windows. I've never needs MS Office in day to life so I am not missing out on anything really.
am interested in a sony or panasonic one... any recs? (up to 350€) Originally posted by drewhiggins:[..]
Yeah. Once you stop using Windows, you don't look back. Pretty much everything and anything is on other platforms.
Speaking of other platforms - has anyone had a good experience with the new OS X?
