The more I read about Chrome OS, the more I like the sound of it. My one reservation is their. Basically I was talking to a salesperson the other day, who said that Chromebooks are designed to be put on school stationery lists, and then used for one school year, then traded in for a newer model the next year. Now, I love the idea of a computer that's simple, fast, and basic, but I'm not so keen on one that I have to replace every year.
In my experience, computers tend to slow down as they age, so planned obsolescence is pretty much set in stone. My hope was that the simplicity of a Chromebook would avoid this issue. No harddrive to wear out, no big weird programs to bloat it out. They're lean and mean, but also designed to stay that way. But if they don't last, then that defeats the purpose.
