Yeah, the weakness of the chromebook is an issue. So my uses are the following. Programming C and Go using vim Browsing the internet If I wanted to do things like program in Java with eclipse I would be miserable instead of enchanted. So it does need to fit your uses. The one thing I would say about the chromebook is that while I love using it, I do not love the device itself. It is cheap(ish) and plastic and mine is scratched and worn. If I owned a MBA I don't think I could use it so much as a spanner. Those MBAs are beautiful and I think this can limit their utility. Also, my Ubuntu partition has 8gig on it. This is tiny and if I used it for anything other than vimming on text files it would probably be a disaster.
