Pros: Good Battery Life (on this one I bought anyways)
Boots in a couple of seconds like a arm device (this one is dual core Celeron)
Plays mp4,,avi,mp3 OK. I have not had it long enough yet to test this thing really well yet to see what ChromeOS is capable of. This is all new turf to tread for for me. Play Store.Chrome Web Store. Google Docs is your office.
Everything/Hardware works OOTB because this is a preinstalled setup tested piece of gear. Dumbed down initial fireup. Dumbed down wifi connect. It was a breeze for this Linux user.
Cons:
Play Store. Chrome Web Store. I have no interest in playing Angry Birds and 1/2 of the apps others take a interest in.
No .pls support in their media player for my saved shoutcast stations that will play in xmms and mocp in my Linux installs.
Notice I am not calling this a Linux install?
No real terminal. Cntrl+Alt+t opens a tab in chromium and gives you a weak ass terminal

I kinda like and am kinda put off by this thing. Learning new tricks can be kinda dis-concerting so it is Like being a new Linux user again because this OS handles things differently.
I can see the attraction to migrating Windows users as this is really dumbed down once you start to figure things out. It just seems a bit limited to me but I'll hold judgement on a new developing operating system that is still newborn in my point of view.
I will be researching developer Mode.
How to Install Linux on a Chromebook and Unlock Its Full Potential
Mainly to run a class 10 Sandisk Ultra SD Flash card with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W__qWfacOZs
that on it. I have a 32gig class 4 SD card inserted to boost the internal 16 gig SSD drive storage capability. But it will be replaced when I dual boot ChromeOS and MX-14 with persistence on this. From what I read. This slows the boot time down a bit from stock. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
