MacBook Air info released yesterday. Superior screen, 1lb lighter, same sort of battery life, but about £800 more expensive than my Acer CB5 311. But otherwise, little practical difference. I started shopping at Aldi in 2008, look where Aldi is now! I expect the same thing will happen with the Chromebook. In 5 years time the public will wake up and smell the coffee and the Chromebook will become the widespread choice for Laptop users. In the meantime the Apple 'victims' will enjoy their toys... And, you don't always need internet, similar limitations to Windows and Macs if you think about it
