New Samsung Chromebook & Chromebox review: Chrome OS grows up | The Verge

Owen Densmore

The Verge has a pretty positive review of the new ChromeOS and Samsung's gDevices:

My only puzzle is the "totally online" approach.  You can make use of local files, music for example, but I'm fairly sure ChromeOS depends on a broadband (wifi/mobile) connection.

GoogleDrive is a nice addition, as is, of course, the entire Android ecology.  So the steady additions to the gEcology will also improve the dDevice experience.  And the market is sure interesting for low end computing .. half the price of the Air and Mini they clearly are emulating.

Do we have any ChromeOS users?  What's it like?
