Overall... they get the job done. As long as all you're doing is web-based, they're fine. When it comes to application support, well.. it's Android, and not all Android apps support x86 processors. Being ex-school units, they're ruggedized and very cheap, dare I say disposable. I'd imagine the experience is a bit nicer on better hardware. Very simple machines, but at the same time that's what makes them interesting. Because they're like this, they're actually decent for security. No Windows bugs to worry about, and there aren't many people trying to hack into Chromebooks compared to the number trying to get into Windows machines. It's actually kind of fun to open up dangerous attachments and bad websites and watch their scripts fail on the Chromebook.
