I've got an old Acer netbook as well, but I couldn't move to a Chromebook. Just the opposite -- I replaced the 160 GB hard drive in the netbook with a 320 GB drive. I also dumped Windows XP for Ubuntu. I do a lot of work on the netbook with the wifi turned off to get better battery life.
I have looked at Chromebooks for when my 4 year old netbook finally gives up, since netbooks seem to be a dying breed. The one saving grace, IMHO, is that it looks like you can install Linux on some (many?) Chromebooks, turning them back into computers.
