I got one just for surfing the web in the living room for the most part, doing a little bit of coding sometimes, and taking it to meetup groups. There is an app called Caret which satisfies my editor needs. Anyways, I'm pretty satisfied with it and it wasn't very expensive.

Exactly. Our Chromebook is a convenient living-room computer that my wife and I (and guests) can easily share. It does 80% of what we need there, easily more than enough to justify its purchase price.
Totally same use case: instant web applicance in living room, shared accounts, and when a guest comes over - here you go buddy- surf away
