I heard a TV commercial for the "I-pad" or some such Apple device that the Chromebook didn't have wi-fi?? Which implies it has no wireless network card. That can't be correct can it?

As you describe the operating system, it must reside on the "cloud" which is a neat idea. I wonder if this means that you can't get a virus unless Google gets one.

An SSHD is what i've been wating for. No waiting for it to spool up. I think you meant to say 4GB of ram instead of "MB".

I'd ask about security when you say the data is stored in the cloud but I would not understand it. I'd have to place my trust in Google or not enter anything I consider sensitive. That's just me.

What about programs for it? I've heard Google has an online office suite, are there other programs you plan to use?

So if your OS is online I assume you cant run any programs unless you're connected? That might be a problem for people with crappy internet.

Thanks again for the report, my netbook is starting to have issues.
