I'm sure once the modding scene can put Android on it this is going to be a pretty good darn value.

that bezel is looking a bit thick...it's also heavy for its size (2.5lbs)

it's cool to see Chrome OS and Exynos 5 are finally in production, but if you think again. In practical, it's just another netbook. 0.8" thick is not an impressive number either.

Not sure what Chrome OS can do, for sure the latest android shouldn't be far behind.

^ The price point is the selling feature. It's not ground breaking, but its decent for a price that undercuts all the competitors. It's the hyundai genesis of the computer world lol.


If its easy for technologically retarded people to use I might be picking one up for a few family members. Not a bad xmas present to get an aunt or uncle surfing the net
