So my comment was in reference to the 1tb of cloud storage that you mentioned earlier. How does the article you've linked to help me with accessing that cloud storage from a plane
Need to pay more attention inbetween your google love frenzy.

Lol Google love frenzy classic
You know you can access the internet while on a plane :rolleyes:
What can a 'demanding' user actually do with it though?
the only things I don't use a browser for at the moment are to edit photos (which I can do in web apps but they're not quite powerful enough for me yet.) or play games (same, there are some, but they're not particularly great yet) Everything else I use a computer for, I do in a browser.
I think its easier to list what a Chromebook/browser can't do, which really isn't a big list. (Though for me, with the photo editing, a deal-breaker. When there's a Lightroom equivalent/RAW editor available on a Chromebook, I'm getting one. Probably only the £200 version though, rest really isn't needed)

It runs a virtual Linux distribution so you can run chrome and Linux together, no dual boot required.
Unless you have something which can't be done on Linux ?

For me personally it can't play most of the games that I play - and that's something I'd want if I was paying over a £1,000 for a laptop.
Apart from the screen which is nice it seems more of a talking point for Google rather than something they think people will sensibly think about owning.

Ah I see (I reserve games for my console I know very quaint). As I am stuck in front of a screen most days it is important to have something vivid as well as the speed being on par with other machines. The zero configuration also helps.
I can't say I actually want one. http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130715PD214.html
But according to the dodgy times' upstream sources sales of chromebooks will possibly triple in the next next two quarters.
It had already been reported that they captured nearly 25% of the $300 US laptop market.
Business usage I sort of wonder.

A lot of people find Windows too complicated and fragile, and Windows 8 completely beyond them. Tablets are one alternative for someone looking for something simpler, Chromebooks are another.

Not missing the point just answering your clearly inaccurate response.
Online and Offline storage is available - approximately 21Gb free space + SD slot which can be used. You also get cloud storage.
The hardware also supports the installation of alternative OS and can be extended using developer mode.
Agreed, if that's what you bought it for.
However Chrome has an extension for more demanding users which provides the workhorse element equivalent to more functional operating systems.

Of course.
