What a travesty of a launch.

What can it actually do? Stop telling me about "multiple USB ports and multiple display options". Should I get one instead of an iPad or a new laptop? Is it a new name for a Google TV device?

"Place it anywhere" ? As opposed to what?

Buy now? OK I'm in the United Kingdom, that's lucky. Let me buy it from...PC World? This leads to a page with a screenshot of a netbook/Chromebook and a Chromebox somewhere in the background. The word "Chromebox" doesn't even appear on the page.



Don't even try searching for a "chromebox" on bestbuy.com


Yeah I noticed that too. Plus when I looked (followed the links), the only Chromebooks on Amazon UK were Acer versions with Atom CPUs.


Yeah, and does it have internal storage... if so how much, and how much is free user space... if not, how do i add storage, usb?

I like how the specifications tab just gives us 2 pictures. Really, that's the specifications?

Now I know there was a /sarc comment aboce about Apple and sepcs... but even mobile phone websites have better specs than this!

Seriously Google, your average user is not going to give a sh!t about this at moment and only those more tech savvy will likely but this right now!
