I actually did this. I was using an iPad for blogging on the go but got sick of the virtual keyboard and cursor placement hijinks. The Chromebook's build quality is pretty darn nice. Good keyboard and screen, battery lasts forever, built-in 3G Verizon connection -- and I have not had any track pad problems that some complain about. You can always wait 6 months and get something better but today's Chromebook is pretty sweet hardware-wise. Then there's the OS. The one huge failing in my mind is the lack of offline capability. No Internet = useless brick. That is supposedly coming this summer. But what software/activities are you planning to use? I can give more detailed thoughts. It's great for light writing, blogging, web browsing etc. Easy to post photos via the SD card slot though less great for photo editing.
