So you guys only use OpenBSD? Because, except for certain military systems, OpenBSD is the only platform on the market that deserves the label "fully secure".

Far too expensive. Good hardware but let down by a fairly basic OS.
Allow it to run Android apps and lower the price then you've got a decent product IMO.

Obviously he heard some sheep spout that android wasn't secure, so it must be true right ?
I can understand why a second rate firm like Asus would couple Apple, but surely people who work for Google would have more dignity and honour?
Watching that marketing video is painful.

what I find ridiculous is that they say that I, if I buy one, should only keep their $1300-1400 laptop for 3 years. If that means after three years its going to break, then thats terrible quality.
If that means that after three years you should sell it, who is going to buy it? You have to pay more than $1000 a year to get more than 64gb of storage.
No one will buy one second hand, so you have a waste of a laptop, which probably isn't upgradeable.

Logically who is looking at MBA and ChromeBP side by side, and has 1300$ will not think
twice before buying Macintosh 
. For this ChromeBP I think
its price should be 250-400 to compete iPod maybeFor all the things to criticize here I think the aspect ratio shouldn't be one of them. I have thoroughly been missing the 4:3 ratio myself, and I still only buy 4:3 external displays.
I think one of the reasons nobody was able to steal market shares from the iPad in the beginning was that all competing tablets were 16:9, which is pretty horrible for anything other than movies, and looks very bad in a portrait mode. It's a minor point, but still.

USB 2.0? Really? How more backward can you be?
My Macbook Air doesn't have usb 3.
Wow Dude. Why did you lose your time to answer with real arguments to a troll ?
Everybody knows that Google is ripping off everybody privacy, only Google fanboy denies this facts or says it's not important.
The strangest thing is that your are telling an obvious troll (and likely sock puppet) to not waste his time responding to a troll.
Be wary of people who joined for a particular story just to post a series of inciting comments....
It's a fail for business...what business in their right mind would store its documents on someone else's "secure" cloud? Why would anyone want to be tied to a cloud for their programs/OS? Perhaps the "incredible" sales of their other Chrome books should have been a warning....
