"3 out of 5 stars for being nicer than anything else in the price range?" No he said it was better at two things then the ipad. And traditional netbooks do not comprise "everything else in the price range". I thought overall this was one of the more balanced and positive chromebook reviews I've seen. Even if it is only a first reaction there were a number of good comments about the nuances of the hardware design. Whether positive or negative it seems Chromebook reviews often circle back to the following question: why not just run Chrome on a $500 laptop?
