Love my Samsung Chromebook, and I bought it exclusively as a streaming media player since the usb outputs a digital signal to my external DACs.
That said, I have a netbook and a couple of newer laptops, but my iPad gets used way more than any other portable device I own. It has become an extension of my home, and acts as an indispensable mobile helper kiosk of sorts for all types of things.
For the money, my Chromebook is great, but it is still limited in the default configuration, and not too many people would install Linux on it. I still can't use Slingbox player on it, and the keyboard is not lit, making it difficult to see what I'm typing in a dark environment, when I'm usually watching something on TV.
Basically, I can get the information I need much faster with my iPad than I could with any other device in my home, whether this is a recipe, a location, or my checking account. |
