I can honestly say that I don't understand the hate that most people have for a chromebook. It is essentially a larger tablet that I use when I am going to work on something more in depth such as a word document. Things like photoshop and vegas will obviously not run, but that's what I have a desktop for. I use my tablet for casual article reading, my phone when im on the go, my laptop when I need something that requires actual office and what not, and my desktop for when Im doing some heavier work or gaming. Each of these devices have their own functions and I feel that the chromebooks have a well established function as solely an internet device. BTW this is being typed on a c720 right now, and I love the thing. I just happen to feel that most of the people who are hating on the chromebooks have never used them, which I would suggest that they try because the combination of things available on the chromebooks is quite astounding.
