Bought a Chromebook some months ago after hearing Indy praise them (I am pretty sure he and Larry Page are tight). My use has been at home, though I an interested to hear about office use. I do use logmein for checking charts, eRx from home, etc. Would be nice if there was an ignition app.
Having a Chromebook is sort of a poor-man's MacBook. Like a Mac, nearly instant on, thin and light, excellent battery life, relatively free of virus-risk (I use AVG free). At a cost of about $250, it is hard to fault them.
My wife loves it, too... she spends about 90% of her laptop time either on the internet (including shopping, banking, etc) or with email. Throw in Google docs for word processing and the Chromebook is an inexpensive laptop alternative that meets most of her needs. Love that it boots up in less than 10 seconds.
