This laptop only misgiving is the fact it does not have an SSD. However, it is competitively priced in comparison to its competition and with a sleek sexy design this is a very interesting entry into the market.

I think Google should invest in this thing. Include an SSD, and leverage the unique UI elements for Chrome OS. In this case, it wouldn't be just for gaming. Instead it would be a powerful and compelling alternative to the iPad for the end-user browse/email/word process crowd. If it's also a killer platform for MMOs and casual games, then it would have a powerful draw for college students.

At more than five times the price? I'm not so sure.

At five times the price, no. But if Google put muscle behind it, they might get some economies of scale going.
