I just got a chromebook and I HATE it. The software is ok, but I hate the hardware. Particularly the touchpad. Just awful. Doesn't do tap-to-click correctly and scrolls poorly.
I couldn't recommend it to anyone for anything other than a couch surfing machine, but then again, a tablet is just as good for that.
I can't see it becoming a main machine for me as-is. CrOS's laser focus on "the cloud" makes it extremely well suited for remote-centric work; if you can't commit 100% to doing everything from browser windows and remote terminals, you'll be happier with a more standard PC. For me, it's perfect as a backup but I'm too much of a control freak to be wholly reliant on a remote server.
