The Asus Transformer Prime might be disqualified because it's not chromeos and it doesn't have a built in hardware keyboard, but it's a quad-core tegra tablet running gingerbread and soon ICS (keyboard optional).

I don't have a chromebook but I'm not sure what chromeos offers that android doesn't.

Chromeos isn't about offering more features. It's about offering less problems.

But when a iPad offers better browsing speed it's a big problem for a web browser only OS....

I use Google+ at least 10 times each day on my Chromebook (series 5). It's a touch slow, but hardly unusable.

It's the flash slowdowns that bother me occasionally, but even there it's rarely unusable.

I also have a Series 5. Perhaps our tolerance for lag is simply different. For me scrolling an individual post is completely laggy. I avoid using Google+ for this reason.

I have one of the pilot Chromebooks they were sending out for free a year or so ago. It's not just Google+, it's nearly any of the cool things you'd want to do online. Watching any kind of video is unbearably laggy. Heavy sites like (new) Twitter or (as mentioned) Google+ are completely unusable due to scrolling/typing lag. I get the "release early" mantra but I use my Chromebook for light browsing only. It can't possibly replace a real notebook.

The new Samsungs are much better than the original devices. Still not perfect, but fully functional.

In a pinch, I handed over my Samsung to my son, who wanted to play Club Penguin. He rejected it after 30 seconds of frustration.

Anyone know of reviews of someone putting a recent chromebook build on a macbook air or some laptop with decent specs?
