    I used one for a few months. It was pretty cool, much better at cruising the internet and typing than an iPad is.


    American Red Cross hands you one after you're medivac'd out of country. It was a lifeline to friends and family. Great people, there.
    On the same token,'iPads for soldiers' donated my platoon 4 iPads, great people! This ain't your granddaddy's OEF.

    So yeah, if you're one to type alot during your surfing i'd go with the chromebook.

    Re: Google chromebook:

    kind of 2 different machines. Chomebook is more of a netbook/laptop gobetween than a real tablet fighter. Also if you dont have an internet connection they are pretty useless. I heard somewhere though that they a preloading Unbuntu on them so you can dual boot into linux if you need something for offline work. Chrome OS is built around cloud storage which with no internet doesn't work so well. If you plan on not having that problem or using it offline i have not heard any real complaints on them

    Bump: I need to replace my laptop, it just shit, and I need something that I can put my iTunes on 33gigs and talk shit on places like here. I'm all ears. Cheaper is better, but I'd hope for something technotard proof, and something that'll last. I'm all ears.
