Google’s vision for the Chromebook is one that represents a vision of doing away with traditional software for personal use in favour of doing everything on the cloud. SaaS (software as a service) is definitely catching on more as the choices continue to grow, but for many users—especially home users with tight budgets and intermittent Wi-Fi quality—it can be more trouble than it’s worth. With a little more time and commitment from Google, the Chromebook could possibly be a contender for frequent travellers. But for now, a tablet is much more appealing.
