Good looking device... I do only hope it will last for more than couple of years without any problem though...

This looks awesome. Chromebooks are great for people that have desktops at home. I carry mine to all my classes and when I travel and its great because its super light and has really long battery life. Makes me regret not waiting though!

"ComfyView"? What?

So, not IPS then, I guess...

I'm still not sold on touch screens on notebooks but this is an incredible value for those who are.

It's probably not bad once you ditch the the OS for Linux or Windows.

Have you used one? Putting Windows on there would be a travesty.

Not a fan of the whole touchscreen thing, but thats personal preference. Spec/Price wise it looks good, I am really liking how the chromebook market is heating up.

Now I just wished people quit touching my Samsung Chromebook screen, it's not a touchscreen and quit complaining that I bought a $250 laptop that's not a touchscreen when you don't use it!

I got an HP TouchSmart 11 notebook with Win8 and a 8w Temash APU for $260 over the weekend.

As soon as UPS gets here, I'm going to find out if I can clone the original 5400-rpm HDD to a Samsung SSD (before activation).

OEMs are getting really ass-y about hardware mods these days (Acer being one of them). Hey, Geniuses? 98% of us aren't pirates. Stop screwing us over for trying to mod nice stuff.

I hope samsung does a chromebook refresh. Acer makes great chromebooks but the Samsung ones are just ultrabook thin. I think this is a good step in maybe the right direction if android gets ported to chromebooks. Dual-boot anyone? Android AND Chromium?
