web / cloud software that runs in a browser is clunky. I use a cloud app everyday thats apart of business, and it would 100% be much better if they'd just take the time to deploy client software. all the support staff says is (you can only run it on firefox) and then they wanna make sure you don't run firefox 4.0 cause in any other browser nothing functions smoothly having local client software is not a bad thing! adcenter desktop, adwords desktop, both run better then their web based counter parts and are more powerful, just an example

Google designed Chromium and the entire OS with this in mind.

i also frequently use computers OFFLINE, and would greatly enjoy being able to use hardware even though it is not connected to the internet.

Then don't buy a Chromebook. I won't either. We will be in the minority.

huh? its not about privacy, ANDROID is NOT A CLOUD OS, you install (apps) LOCALLY and run them LOCALLY, you also store data LOCALLY.

I never said Android was a cloud OS but thanks for the specs.

don't confuse (internet) with [LAN]

Still dialing up?
