Hi I just bought an Acer C/B as a Christmas gift for my toddler (started her out on a used iPad 1). I've been using the C/B for the past few days while setting everything up for her. I've used mac & windows based computers from 17" to tablet. I wouldn't discount the C/B but it is what it is-primarily a web browser. That is actually why I bought it for my daughter as iPad doesn't run flashplayer. Yes you can use it for other tasks just like you can use a tablet but not as easy as using a macbook or pc. Already run into a problem with printing. You can print from Google Cloud Print but if you don't have a GC printer it's a nightmare to setup. They are building up their offline apps but frankly the Chrome Store doesn't compare to the Appstore or even Google Play. Also I find that personally I could not work on this smaller screen for extended periods of time. One definite advantage I've noticed is speed and the seamless integration with wifi. It will pick up wifi signals without a hitch. Also this thing is swift. It boots up in a few seconds from shut down & webpages load as soon as you put in the web address. If you need something portable as a second computer I think it's worth considering but keep in mind that you will be limited to Google apps which will only work with a wifi connection. Hope this helps.
