Every ones needs are different.The chromebook does everything I need in a laptop..Where else can you get a 1080p screen and 1920x1080 resolution with stereo speakers/web cam and 10 hours battery life/ all the ports/card slots etc for $200 brand new and without the worries of security, windows OS brings?

I can't root my cell phones off a chromebook which is the only thing I miss, my Dell laptop has the ability to do.My windows laptops sit idle in the bedroom.There not nearly as fast or as clear as my chromebook but there not top shelf either,both $500 laptops,I much prefer the $200 chromebook.

For me this works great,might not for others needs.I just don't need what a laptop offers over a chromebook at a much higher price.
