Chromebook?

[BeardOfKnowledge]

I picked one up yesterday in place of an aging Lenovo Thinkpad. I'm digging it so far, anyone else using one of these things?

Tried it, needed a full ultrabook too often and went back.

Which one did you get?

Tried it, needed a full ultrabook too often and went back.

I still have my Toughbook as backup, and the Thinkpad in a pinch because we didn't wait until it was completely dead. I generally just websurf, so it should be enough for most of what we do around the Beard household.

I got this one:

HP 14" Chromebook - Silver (Intel Celeron N2840 / 16GB HDD / 2GB RAM / Chrome OS) - English

Isn't it just a glorified pad with a keyboard?

and a useful monitor size. Tablets just don't hold very much appeal to me.
