The Chromebook also comes with 100-gigs of GoogleDrive storage free, for two years; google is currently charging $4.99 a month for 100 gigs.

The google drive worked surprisingly fast at ABQ - on Monday night, while at my hotel, I stuck a full 32-gig SD card into the chromebook and began copying it. Overnight, I was able to transfer about a gigabyte onto the googledrive. Once I got to the airport and connected to their free wireless (provided by Google, IIRC), it began transferring at about 5 megabytes a second... 30 meg RAW photos were only taking 4 to 5 seconds to transfer.
