All sarcasm aside, I'm genuinely curious—who's the demographic for this?

While I would never use such a machine, I could see my kids using it. For example, my daughter's middle school encourages the kids to do their assignments using Google Docs. They have groups so teachers can pick up the kids' assignments directly from Google. It works pretty nicely.

Also, my kids spend 99% of their computer time in the browser, doing email, or doing instant-messaging. The Chrome machine would be perfect for that.

And if they ever find themselves without a net connection they can just go outside and play. Right, that's it.
