Google ChromeBook Review: ChromeBomb?

I paid half that money for an ASUS eee-pc a couple of years ago that had all of those problems. The only difference is I don't have 3G service or 100mb free with it. But it runs Chrome slowly, loses WIFI a lot, has a terrible trackpad, and hangs any time I look at any page with Flash on it.

There is honestly something to be said for an iPad without Flash. I keep trying to convince myself that I want a lightweight laptop instead, but everything I've tried is a letdown. I'm glad I saved my $500.

Wierd; flash does fine on my first gen eee (as long as I use flashblock and only run it when I need to)

click-to-flash. but I don't see why anyone would still think flash support is a good differentiator.
