Google Chrome Book

[Jumumbo]

Has anyone seen the new Google Chrome Book. They are net books that are built for net surfing. Seems like it could be a good way to stay connected while traveling. What do you think?

I've heard about them but I want to wait until I can actually test one out before making any hardcore judgments about them. It's basically just a netbook with Google OS, right? And special Chrome-related keyboard buttons?

I looked online for info but did not find much I guess they are waiting for the official release soon, but from what I did read it looks interesting.

I'd rather take my laptop. I don't mind the netbooks but why buy two machines for the same reason? I would rather have a full featured laptop and be able to do what I want instead of having fewer options. But that's just me. A lot of people must like netbooks or they wouldn't be manufacturing them.

Well, netbooks are good if you're going traveling without a camper or anything like that (or using it for taking class notes, etc), as they're smaller/weigh less/don't break your back when you carry them around. But if you have an airstream then a regular laptop would work just as well, as you have room to store it (presumably) and no problem with weight.

It just depends on your needs, really.

For me having two Laptops is a must. The reason is because I make some money online. The extra income has been a life saver with the cost of gas rising as well as the cost of food. That is why I am wondering if I should have a computer made for the net, plus my full featured Laptop.
