Tell me about it. Like it, hate it, waste of money? I'm looking at one for $150 since my laptop broke. Just want a cheap thing to mess around with and stream some games. Thanks.
 
Chromebook is a dead end. You should get an asteroid mining space station.

I almost bought my daughter one for her birthday. I ended up getting her an Aspire Switch 10 for $220.

I got two chromebooks for my place of business in June. I love them. They were super cheap at $200 each, and should last better than the laptops that I had been buying every few years. They get a lot of use, and only slowed down a little bit over the course of three months. By a lot of use, I mean they are pretty much in use like 14 hours per day.

As far as them not getting viruses, I think that is pretty much bologna. Anything gets viruses. My office has 20 different people using the computers at different unsupervised times, and they definitely got some type of virus after not very long. They don't get them nearly as often or as bad as the windows machines we use, but they get them for sure. They didn't get any serious viruses, just slowed them down a bit.

If you don't need to have extensive computing power for gaming, then they should be good. You can even run web based app versions of Word, Excel and power point. Chromebooks are pretty great.
