I got an invite to purchase a Chromebook for $499 through gilt.<p>Personally, I find the price a bit too high for an iPad-with-a-keyboard.<p>Based on what I've read/seen online, the Chromebook isn't "there" enough yet to justify a $500 investment. Maybe soonish though.

I'm a little confused (got one too). Did Google sell my contact info to Gilt?

I have a CR-48, I did get the invite. I'm not getting it because they only have the white, I'd prefer the black. I'll wait and get it in Best Buy.

I got an invite but $499 is a little steep :\

chromebook for $500 is crazy. you can get a decent used thinkpad off ebay for that much that can run a real os.
