Yeah, but think of all the leafy greens you're saving...

It really depends what you use a computer for. If you use a computer for web surfing, blogging, reading Facebook etc then you could easily survive using a Chromebook on its own.

To add something substantive to the conversation..I think I could. 99% of what I do is online and I will say publicly through my Google account. A Chromebook is right up my alley, except like anything non-windows will not load Dragonspeak.

I love my C7 Chromebook (now that I've loaded it with Fedora).

Sorry Google, I don't want to give away my right to privacy. My data stays on my harddrive (or on my ssd in this case).

I doubt a Chromebook will float, without a boat underneath it.

Given enough rum, pretty much any argument will work.

"I doubt a Chromebook will float, without a boat underneath it."

Aha! That's the real purpose behind the barge that Google's moving from San Francisco to Stockton. It's for keeping their Chromebook franchise afloat!
