Oh another thing I was wondering about was Google decision to stick with Intel based hardware. Last year Google delayed Chrome OS because they were waiting for cheaper ARM based hardware, yet now both of the models shown at I/O are Intel based hardware. Hence they are not much different to a netbook. In fact I'm sure you will be able to wipe these and put any other Linux distro on them, though space is very limited.
