    This is truly lame. A souped-up ChromeOS/Android system for

    buying this piece of crap? Maybe if one simply hates computers,
    something as dumbed down as this appeals, heh. No thanks, Google,
    you're pretty good as a search engine and email provider, and such,
    but your laptop device is the last one I'd ever buy.

    It's a jelly sandwich with peanut butter on it.

    There's your problem ... it should be a "Peanut Butter and Jam
    Sandwich". ;-P

    And without the horrible wallpaper paste peanut butter ... just a jam sandwich. :-p

    This completely replaces Chromebooks by 2034, so there will be cheaper
    models. The current batch? You'd need to be balls deep in the Google
    ecosystem to get your money's worth from any of them.

    I like my Chromebook btw. It's profoundly unfussy and often out and about
    with me. I can do web apps and it lets me establish terminal and RDP
    sessions into my private cloud. I paid £240 for a Chromebook Plus model.
    It's no Mac, and the same applies to GoogleBook!
