I am now the owner of a Chromebook. This is the $219 11.6" Acer with a 320GB drive and 4GB of Ram that I got my wife to try out.

She required Windows Office so she now has a new 14" Lenovo with all bells and whistles.

I have the Chromebook on a small wooden folding table in the den. A cord hangs discretely from a nearby pole lamp in case it needs a charge.

Very nice for browsing, and following the market, but I have not yet found a way to print out a revised stock portfolio, that is formatted like I want, on the printer in my office. I can print it, but none of the apps will let me adjust the font as I wish. Not enough printer control (legacy printer on my pseudo Windows server.) Not yet anyway.
