It's $1300-$1400 for 32gb-64gb of storage. And it's a browser, with the laptop as a sort of extreme plugin for said browser.

So, anyone lining up to buy it?

I would get one if it was about 1/3 of that price.

Sure, I imagine lots of people would in that case, haha. (Then again, there's still the problem that it's just a browser, no other OS...)

nah... around $99 - $150 would be my price point.

Edit: actually, that's a new one... much more impressive than the first. still, not for $1400. Only 64GB? The Cloud don't cut it.
