Chromebook – Any Thoughts?

I’m a dyed-in-the-wool Apple fanboy for almost 20 years now and my loyalty is still strong.

And, even though there are these recent dents in their shiny finish… 

• I’m not crazy about iOS6
• I’ve heard user complaints about iPhone 5 (keeps me from moving forward from the 4s)
• Heard some questionable things about Mountain Lion (keeps me from moving forward from – yes, Snow Leopard)

I still love Apple and won’t be moving away from it anytime soon.

However, Google Chromebook?

This new machine on the market caught my attention…

• Attractive design (when you’re an Apple guy, yes, this matters)
• Light weight
• Decent battery life
• 3G and Wifi connectivity
• Starting at $249.00 (USD)

Interesting.

It wouldn’t run any of the high production apps that I run so it won’t work for me. But it does have a number of apps that it runs, and would seemingly make a nice machine for anyone who doesn’t need to do a lot of heavy production with their laptop.

What about you?

Would this work for you? I’m interested in what you think, and especially interested in any hands-on reviews.

Take a look!
