Re: The $199 iPad killer?

if anyone thinks these are iPad killers they are smoking some good stuff. I looked at one and liked it, but found it was heavily dependent on cloud storage instead of using a hard drive. instant deal killer. IMO i think these are nothing more than portable web browsers and nothing else.

That's the selling point. You always have enough storage, you never have to upgrade your OS, your data is available everywhere you go including all your applications.

If you break your iPad, you lose everything. If you break your Chromebook, you lose nothing.
