I like the price - cheaper than the new 10" Google Nexus tablet. But what can I do with it? I was just at the Google Play Store and read the promotion of their Chromebook. But it did not convince me I needed one. I have a Windows laptop and a Samsung 10" Galaxy android tablet. But it doesn't appear the Chromebook can use any of the Windows or Android programs I am familiar with so I can't sync files among the devices and work on them like I can start a MS Word document on my tablet and finish it on my laptop.
It sounds like I would have to get all new programs from the Chrome Web Store? It won't run any of the Android programs I already have? Why the whole new OS? Why not have it run Android/Jelly Bean so we can use the apps we already have and are familiar with? I could see having an android Chromebook along with a Nexus 7 tablet. But it just doesn't seem to have a place or purpose between my Windows laptop and 10" android tablet.
And it also doesn't seem like a replacement for either my laptop or tablet. What am I missing about the Chromebook that would make me think I need one?
