The thing had a totally different operating system, couldn't run most desktop applications, and what worried you was that it had a slightly slow CPU?

Yeah, that's really the elephant in the room. Sure.

Not that I'm dissing Chromebooks. Far from it, but in this day and age CPU speed is a non-starter for non-gaming home users.
