Meaning that you're trading in a multi-functional computing device for a dumb terminal with web access capability. The only good Chromebooks are those which have Ubuntu or similar installed.
Timeshare computing died for a reason. If I'm going to run a Google OS on a portable, it will be Android, which actually has a decent native app ecosystem, and isn't just a glorified web browser with a rudimentary file manager.
