And then some...
The three "improvements" to Chromebook mentioned are correct...better browser support for non-standard Websites, off-line app use (coming for Google Apps), and lower price points. My Acer "Cromia" Chromebook should list for $298 and not $349 but early adopters always pay the price. To Jason's list I would add better local file management as it is feature poor and not that usable. I tried to install a USB wired Ethernet adapter and it didn't work, although the network setup for Chromebook seems to indicate it will support wired connections. I could add a USB mouse OK. Aside from that I like the screen clarity on the Acer Cromia and the battery life...approx. 6 hours. All-in-all not bad for a first cut at a new way to work the Web Google style. I'm looking forward to improvements from Google and an expanded list of Chromebook manufacturers.
