The Google Chrome Notebook does not work like a normal desktop and is probably not supposed to. It's not surprising that he wasn't used to it. What's insightful that he expected it to work like a normal desktop and couldn't get his mind to work otherwise. This is something that google probably has to overcome.

Apple's iPad did not have such teething problems probably because it looks and feels so different from a conventional laptop. No one expected the iPad to be used like a normal laptop. Google can probably take a page out of the iPad chapter to see how to manage expectations of their notebook. A simple start would probably be to name it something else other than a notebook. The Chrome webBrowser. Browserbook. webBook. ok, i'm probably not good at names, but you get the idea.
