Anybody use a chromebook? My daughter has spotted them and seems to think they are the biz, and wants one, I've looked into them and can see a few plus points but potential for plenty negatives as well, I do think that the idea behind them is spot on but would like to hear from anyone who has actually had the use of one for their opinion,
Cheers PJ.

From what I gather, the biggest negative is that there's no native storage, all storage, and apps as well, IIRC, are web-based, so an always-on network connection is essential.
The review I saw was by a bloke who's decidedly Android/Google biased, and even he felt he couldn't use one day-to-day.
I could be wrong, and maybe it was just that particular model.
