I never understood chromebooks either. They are pretty low spec, and a tablet seems like a smarter option.

Even if this thing is priced at $250 like other similar Chromebooks people are still better off spending another $100 - $150 on a low end laptop IMO.

I found my sister a brand new Dell Inspiron 15 with an i5 for $380 for christmas. I can't believe someone would think a chromebook would be a better deal even for $100 cheaper.

And that is my point. If you want such a limited device then get a tablet but even then I do not understand why people spend $400+ on a tablet.
