Couple thoughts:<p>* there was an earlier thread on touch screens in laptops, the surface thread, and I stated I have the Lenovo tablet laptop with touchscreen and it is horrible and I don't like it.<p>I work with lots of visual docs, from visio, PDF acad plans, acad itself and revit. Not once have I wanted to interact with any of these documents via touch.<p>We have a few plan-grid users in the office and that works kinda ok - but not on a laptop.<p>* I bought a chromebook for my mom, and I lamented here on HN about how it lacked features and the UX was very clunky.<p>This thing is going to likely wind up in the iPad price range, and I am suspicious it's experience will be some weird limbo between a full OS laptop and a fully purpose built tablet.<p>I want this to succeed, but I feel that the chromebook, with almost zero functionality without access to the Internet is shortsighted in the depth and sophistication (savvy) users need from their devices.<p>While "we" (my wife and I) have an iPad, "I" do not have one; I find the iPad too one dimensional for the majority of what I need to do. Using robust and nimble applications for work, light gaming and heavy web content consumption.<p>I typically have multiple browser containers open with upto 20 tabs in each.<p>For light browsing, I use my phone - as I am now to type this.<p>This video showed a person clicking a CGI jellyfish to change its color. Ok, zero utility and the spark of coolness lasted about a nanosecond.<p>The only thing semi-inspirational said in the video was also very scary: 4 million of these pixels create a new world.<p>This statement leads me to believe this is a hardware wrapper to G+, is a google encased physical portal into their total information awareness about your individual, and the pixels overall communal, online use.<p>This makes it sound liberating - but this is actually a digital prison.<p>Finally, it's a me too ad in response to Apple trying to tout "completely designed by google".<p>Don't get me wrong, I love lots of things about google, most things actually - but what I will never trust about google or any other company is that they are working in my interest.<p>So, people will find this useful, and interesting - but this ad showed me very little to convince me that my computing experience is about to evolve into anything other than a benefit for googles information indexing leviathan, let alone become something completely better.
