> When my grandparents and parents ask me what computer they should get, or my in-laws ask what they should get their kids, I'm going to seriously consider Chromebooks. If they need to run Office, or Minecraft, clearly it's not a fit. But for the tweeting / facebooking / gmailing universe, a Chromebook is a very nice box.

If you really need Office, and not just Google Docs, you can actually run Office on a Chromebook.

Yeah, but Office in the browser is worse than Google Docs, in my opinion.
