Re: The $199 iPad killer?

Chromebooks are not an ipad killer. They are way too limited even for a light user. They are also not a pricing advantage, as you can get a nexus 7 for the same price, and have a greatly more capable device.

This is basically my thinking. The chromebook is a broken laptop with most of the functionality removed. I'd rather have a full-featured tablet at the same price.
