The first generation of Google'sChromebooks worked fine, but few people would have ever described these browser-centric laptops as excellent. Sure, they had some great features, including long battery life and very fast boot-up times, but they never caught on with consumers. For the most part then, they were relegated to being used in schools, libraries and Google's own campuses (which isn't necessarily a bad thing). I'm not sure the latest Chromebook, the Samsung Series 5 550 will change that, but it's a much improved version of Samsung's earlier ChromeOS effort and thanks to some changes in ChromeOS, it's now actually a very usable laptop replacement if you are one of the few people who can live without using desktop software.
