http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Chromebook-CB3-111-C670-11-6-inch-16GB/dp/B00MMLV7VQ/ref=redir_mobile_desktop/183-6586440-0513445?ie=UTF8&vs=1
first impressions:
very fast and adequate for web browsing. handles 1080p60fps youtube easily. turns on when you open it up and boots up to whatever you were doing last within 5-10 seconds if you were in sleep mode
speakers are on the bottom left and right sides and when the CB is on a flat surface it produces pretty impressive sound. i have a porch that i do a lot of chillin' on and this will be great for music out there
is also built very solid. screen doesn't wiggle at all (and actually takes slightly more effort than id like to open it)

nice, CB does seem like a damn good deal 

[strongbad]

yeah i'd recommend it!

i think that chromebook + ballin desktop is the ultimate combination

lol i don't understand it either. it looks like a developer unit (big and shitty) like Blu said

i was checkin dis and the one you got http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VQP3DNY/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=1Q6RRYLOEOIUK&coliid=I1W5RYYL5AKBKZ&psc=1

$160 does seem like a good deal for writing, editing, collecting chrome tabs

"big and shitty"? Chromebook Pixel is smaller and lighter than the 13-inch Macbook Pro. Although for most use-cases it's a shitty laptop choice for various reasons, it does at least compare favorably in price/specs to most ultrabooks and macbooks.

Those cheap laptops won't be any good for the kind of "collecting chrome tabs" you tend to demand. They only have 2GB RAM. Even with ChromeOS's much better handling of low-RAM than other OSes/distros, that's not enough RAM to leave a lot of tabs open without issues like tab crashes

I will get a 4GB version
I will use the chrome extension The Great Suspender (that thing is great)

just for like, researching and what-have-you, you know maybe 20 tabs at a time. im off that 200 tab lifestyle.
