Lol, 600 bucks for a laptop with the insides gutted to accommodate this threadbare OS.
I’m not sure 349. is even a decent deal here. Didn’t Google recently announce they we’re going to stop supporting &/or further developing Chrome/ChromeOS for tablet/touch usage?
The 32GB storage could definitely be an issue. Moot point anyway since at the time I’m writing this, they are sold out at Best Buy.
Regarding the future of Chrome OS support for tablet/touch, I have not heard that. On the contrary, there are enhancements in the canary channel that will improve the user experience for touch devices.
