My family's new toy

I got an awesome phone in October and posted about "Daddy's new toy."  In January I got my wife one of these and a couple weeks ago I bought a second one.  I'm loving it.  It's an HP Chromebook 14.  It doesn't run Windows or Mac or Android or iOS, it runs Chrome OS.  The thing cost $250 and is just an Internet browser.  It's very light, returns from standby before you even finish opening the lid, has a decent keyboard, 14 inch screen, about 8 hours of battery, and runs very smooth and stable.  It's not a full replacement for a Windows 7 desktop or laptop (yes, I said 7) but it's a great portable thing for almost dirt cheap.  I'm not necessarily "recommending" it, but I will tell you, I love it.
