It's interesting that there are so many oldtimers here--including me. We have a house full of various computers, including Macs of various ages, a netbook running Linux, and a chromebook that gets most of my time (I was one of the Chrome pilots).

The comments about a tablet not being a computer are the ones that resonate with me. Many people think of Chromebooks as tablets with keyboards, and now that I am using the Nexus, I realize that a tablet has very little functional overlap with a computer. Apps are where tablets shine, and I find that trying to use a tablet for browsing is a pretty miserable experience. Since I have no prior experience with browsers on Android, I have no preconceptions, and if reviewers are raving about Chrome with Jelly Bean, then what came before must have been truly pathetic.
