Score 10.0/10
Good points:
Instant on, updates by itself, safe and secure

There is very little that you can do on a windows machine that cannot be done on a chromebook.

Search the Chrome Web Store to find all the necessary apps and you'll find yourself drifting away into the cloud...
Bad points:
none really.

Score 9.0/10
Good points:
Optimised for the Internet and cloud -based computing. This is the way forward and expensive Apple NoteBooks and unreliable WIndows machines are not outdated!
Bad points:
For documentation and not easy to find answers. For instance, I still cannot sync my favourite tabs across machines.

John, Wivenhoe General home user

Score 8.0/10
Good points:
Very light and easy to use. Virtually instant on is a great feature. Ideal for home use when you otherwise would struggle to get on the main desktop PC due to constant teanager demand.
Bad points:
Something new, compared with a PC, to learn about. Other than that it is very good. Not sure the extra cost of the 3G version is justified if is is intended for home use. Therefore I would advise the non 3G version which is a good bit cheaper.
