Ok you have some speculators in your thread but I don't think any of them have tried one
I own a Samsung chromebook and use it for college and it's perfect. It's light, has a long battery and it's online web browsing performance is great (including streaming video). The machine is basically a powerful web browser, all the work you do online so everything is saved instantly. It's keyboard and display and large enough to not feel cramped.
If you want to play graphically intensive games/watch blu-ray videos/install bloated applications, then look elsewhere - that's not what chromebooks are for =)
