Sorry, but a cheap ChromeBook is not a laptop, it's more like a toy. Wouldn't want to compile Linux with that...

Do you get the analogy now?

Well, a cheap laptop lets me check my mail and write a document. Which I can also do on an expensive laptop. A cheap car gets me from a to b. An expensive car too.

But seriously, that's not a car. I own a Toyota IQ. Very small, but still a car. That's not a car, that's a toy. Not comparable to the cheap laptop, more comparable to a Nintendo DS or something similar. It works, but it won't let you email. Just like that "car" won't let you drive for a couple of hours on the highway without feeling you might die every moment.
