I guess that chromebook laptops are cheap (?). Chrome OS seemed appealing to me initially, because of the short start up time. But then, reasonably sized SSDs became affordable[1], and any faster boot times than what Linux + SSD can give me is kind of meh, to me. What are the advantages of ChromeOS over other operating systems?
