Chromebooks were considered cheap and a bit pointless when they were first announced and manufactured.

But they've actually come to the spotlight today. Most people use google,youtube, and docs anyway which chrome is specially built for.

I honestly wouldn't really pay for one only because I like full compatability in a laptop where I am able to take advantage of the OS environment.

But hey if its something you want as an extra device and something thats a bit different and cool then chromebooks are right for you!

I have a gaming desktop, workstation Dell laptop, and Dell ultrabook. (Precision M4400 and Latitude E4200.) I also have a school-issued Dell Chromebook 11. In my opinion, it's not worth it. My ultrabook was ~$80 (50 used on eBay for it and 30 for an SSD.) and is much better. More powerful, more uses, much better build quality, better battery life. (I bought a second battery for $20 but instead of doing that you could buy a battery slice, which according to Dell boosts the battery life to 19 hours max. Also it's go that Dell Latitude ON thing.)
