For a moment, I thought they were making notebooks out of chrome, sort of like how Apply makes macs out aluminum.
I'd consider this solely for school. It's a bitch lugging my massive Gateway laptop around, it's more suitable for sitting on my desk.

Chroming is the process of plating something with chromium. Chrome is not a physical thing.
Just putting that out there.

I probably won't get one.
But I'll dual-boot it with my laptop, if they allow me to.

The hardware refreshes also sound very cool, but I wonder what kind of "refreshes" and how much they will keep up with modern day specs[/QUOTE]

chrome is a process not a material
I wonder if this is the direction the industry is going; towards service based business models. Could be eventually you can't buy devices anymore, only rent. It gives the provider a legal right to tell you how to use it, in addition to extra-legal incentives, like locking you out of updates.
I'm going to take a wild guess for everyone who wonders what happens if you don't pay -- it's a contractual agreement. If you break your contract, they send you a cancellation bill.
Either that or a deposit.
