On second thought, the idea of a Google laptop isn’t so dumb, after all.
In June 2011, I trashed Samsung Corp.’s Chromebook, an early effort to build a machine running Google Inc.’s Chrome operating system. For $429, you got an attractive, well-built machine, but one that could not run programs written for Microsoft Corp.’s Windows software and that only worked when it was connected to the Internet.

A crucial element of this story is whether you can edit MS Office documents online in the Chrome browser (that should have been first paragraph.) I'm interested in this machine, but will have to read a more thorough review before I decide to buy it.
