I love the idea of Chromebooks — superlight laptops that do nothing but access the Web. And I love those Google commercials where a guy’s Chromebook is destroyed over and over again in various imaginative ways, and he picks up right where he left off after each disaster.
Where tablets are a great form factor for consuming content (e-books, videos, email, games), Chromebooks could be an alternative for folks who need to create a lot of content on the go.
