If you realize that you are buying a product that runs google's OS, relies on google products (calendar, gmail, google+, etc.) and has limited functionality offline, then you will be happy with this product. If you are anticipating buying a fully functional netbook or a macbook air, then you will not be happy with this product. A number of reviews that I found online badmouthed the Chromebook and would constantly compare it to the macbook air. At half the cost, this product is amazing. This boots and loads webpages faster than my Lenovo Thinkpad, is lighter and cooler (temperature) than my Thinkpad and is ultimately a lot more portable. Although a lot of the processing and accessibility is compromised, this is a great product for browsing the internet and just relaxing.

I purchased this for my husband who likes to surf the web, answer e-mails, and not do much else on a portable. His tablet does not run the same, does not have as big of a screen and isn't designed to surf the web like a lap top; this fills the bill for all of his needs. He did not need the disk drives or software. He loves the Chromebook; fast, easy to use, picks up wi-fi hotspots and isn't complicated for a guy for whom technology is not his thing. It is sleek and light and easy to travel with. Great purchase.
Update: It is now March, and this has become my husband's "go to" machine for all things web related. He never misses his laptop. No issues with viruses, no mechanical problems. Still love it.

It's on it's way and the specs indicate that it will be even better than the first samsung that I ordered whenever the chromebook was first introduced. Initially, I didn't use the chromebook much, but over the last year, I have completely moved to it and away from my pc laptop. My wife has an ipad that she never uses anymore as she prefers the connectivity of the chromebook and the real keyboard and touchpad. If Mint software or quicken would introduce more robust cloud based software ( saving data, creating reports, etc), I would have no need for pc at all. I'm looking forward to that day. BTW the new chrome update is great and will be much better for people who are just now moving from pc to chromebook.
