I have discovered another minor limitation to using my Chromebook: I can't attach my Garmin GPS to the USB port and expect to address the GPS to upload or download data. Now I know that some people have figured out how to address the internal file system and therein could manage to move smaller files between devices and the Chromebook. However, I don't think that most people are going to be interested in learning this "hack" to manage their netbook. I believe the fact that it would take another laptop to communicate with the GPS is another strike against a netbook.
I still love my Chromebook and enjoy using it for it's intended purpose. The battery life continues to serve exceptionally well for light to medium web surfing. If I think that I'm going to be doing a lot of research or media activities I will get the charging cable as required but generally I find it a extremely productive unit.
