Has anyone here tried a Chromebook?

Intel has so far managed to be the king of overall Horsepower, AMD still
can eke out some solid memory performance and even
beat comparably priced Intel processors in memory performance. this kind of
makes them a good choice for lots of little threads. and they have cost
savings on their side. however if you ever have large threads that need
allot of compute in the long run Intel will be the better performer.

There are a large number of tech docs and benchmarks about on the internet,
but from personal experience and that same reading this is kind of the
summary i have come to.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
