Well, games. And Crouton isn't a viable solution, as long as dev mode on a Chromebook still requires you to do the ctrl+d thing at boot, or whatever. Honestly, if it's not a machine with at least a TB of storage, user serviceable, and capable of running both Windows and a standard Linux distro, then it's not something I'm interested in as a primary computing device. I'm not a big fan of cloud storage, using more of Google's services than I need to, browser-based technologies, being forced into choice of a specific OS, or jumping through hoops to use my computer. From what I've seen, a ChromeOS machine is an appliance. Crouton is a kludge with a few unpolished edges, trying to turn it back into a computer. Why would I buy that?
