Chrome OS with Thinkpad? Sweets. However, if I get one of this laptop, I will install Ubuntu or other Linux system on it. Because in most time, without networking, Chrome OS is useless.

It boggles my mind how popular ChromeOS would be if it did indeed have strong offline capabilities (like say, an Android tablet).

This is likely why I would recommend a Transformer+keyboard instead - around the same price, but higher utility.

Chrome supports offline apps.
