Ummm, I'm pretty geeky. But I haven't been following Chrome in detail, so I don't have a clue what this box is for or what it actually does.
Reminded me of this: http://www.theonion.com/video/sony-releases-new-stupid-piece...
You weren't immediately aware that this was a desktop version of the Chromebooks that you've probably heard of?
Is that what it is? That's certainly not clear from the "landing page". I assumed from the form factor that it was some sort of Home Theater PC (HTPC). Honestly.
no, I had assumed it was an HTPC from the landing page.
I've completely forgotten that Chromebooks even exist because I've never heard of anyone buying one.
Chromebooks?
But the complaint (and a legit one I feel) is that this page is the opposite. This page has very little information that techies want (as seen by all the complaining here.)
I think he's agreeing with the parent...
... Oh! I did not read it that way at all!
Lol, yeah, it wasn't very clear but I don't think they can dumb page down any more at a later stage, lol
Are we reading the same complaint, or is this more a catch-all of complaints? The root of this thread says-
Sell me a story! Tell me why my life is going to be better with it.
Those are not details that techies want. It is clearly extolling the mythical Apple advertising (the one where they aren't talking about quad core GPUs and retina displays and 5MP "iSight" cameras) that, supposedly, is lifestyle focused.
Early adopters will be techies. It's OK to be geeky at this stage.
They can dumb-it-down later.
