Why should I spend $499 for a Chromebook when I can get a notebook with better features for the same price or less?
The Chromebook has a few advantages, all that I can live without.
1. Eight second boot - I hardly ever shut down completely.
2. 8.5 hour battery life. I can carry a spare battery with me if I really wanted to, or upgrade to a nine cell battery.
I can (and do) use the Chrome browser, which gives me all the benefits of the cloud, but I have the option to run Windows applications as well.
Is there any possibility we'll see Chromebooks with better specs that can dual boot Windows or Linux?
