My understanding is that this particular *hardware* is incidental. Google simply wants people to evaluate the *software* platform.

However your concerns do apply generally. ChromeOS has many challenges to overcome before I'd consider it a success.

I think that you hit the nail on the head. Although this did read somewhat as a hardware review, the point is very clearly ChromeOS. I do not believe we have yet seen any of the hardware that real people are expected to buy.

Even some of the later comments here seem to miss that fact.
