This is mainly just a discussion. More like a would you rather?

I know a lot of talk has been made about the Chromebook and people are like "oh a similar priced windows laptop can do much more". "What similar priced windows laptop?"

The Toshiba Satellite 15.6" with a Intel Celeron Processor.

Yep. $229 at Best Buy.

This, or a chromebook?

The next cheapest Chromebook is the Acer C7 (the older version is still $200, the updated $250).
