I only know one guy in my personal bubble using one. He's a front end web developer and does much of his coding with ShiftEdit and is able to consume stuff, code on sites and exchange email with it. He loves it.

Personally I wouldn't be able to use such a device for everything, and I don't think most people could either. The traditional "media consumers" could use it, but I think they're just as content doing it with a phone or ipad.

HN seems to have a really distorted view of what real people are.

Chromebooks are great for things like Imgur or Reddit or all that other stuff, especially if people want to leave comments where a real keyboard is handy.
