So, how did my week go? Better than I'd feared it would, and not as well as I wished it would. ChromeOS is usable and practical for most needs, but not really fully featured enough to be my primary machine.
That, of course, isn't a surprise. Google's own ad campaign tries to separate the idea of a Chromebook from that of a regular computer. Still, I was pleasantly surprised at how well I was able to get along without the full-sized machine.
I would (and have) gladly take this machine on a weekend vacation. A longer vacation (say a week), I think i would gladly bring it along, but I would take my regular machine along as well to get actual work done on. I can write a blog post on it, but I don't think i would want to write a book on it, though I could if I had to.
All in all, it's an excellent second machine. That said, I'm glad to have gotten a new power supply so that I can get back to my normal computing routine.
Now if you'll excuse me, my Netflix Instant Queue is calling.
