@monkbent @DigitalTrends if someone emails you a word doc you should be able to edit it. You can on an iPad.

@BenedictEvans@DigitalTrends - I've never had a problem opening a Word Doc - Skydrive/Office Web Apps available if you want complexity -
@monkbent I've likewise happily lived with Pixel as my main machine for months. Get multiple DOC & XLS daily.@benedictevans@digitaltrends -
@njashanmal@benedictevans Skype is a real issue though. i was PC-less for a month, but needed it, so used iPad. Sucked for IM'ing! -
@monkbent isn't Skype in the browser happening soon? It's true, IMing means having tons of tabs open just for that.@BenedictEvans -
@njashanmal@BenedictEvans what I love re ChromeOS vs Chrome is the ability to window or full-screen a tab or web app. 2 levels of hierarchy -
@monkbent agreed, once one adapts one's workflow a bit it's a pleasure to use.@BenedictEvans

@monkbent What is the Chromebook’s workflow, then? //@ianbetteridge -
@the_other_jon@ianbetteridge browsing, web apps and writing. If you're regularly doing more, get a PC. -
@monkbent@the_other_jon Isn’t that a bit like say “browsing, Mac apps and writing” for a Mac? -
@ianbetteridge@the_other_jon fair. I'll write about the difference soon. It's simpler.

@monkbent@DigitalTrends At $1499 it isn't the same class. If they are building simple web apps only, they shouldn't have $1499 option. -
@Joericono@DigitalTrends Chromebooks start at $199. I had one and it's a great device. $1249 is for hardware, and you get what you pay for -
@monkbent@DigitalTrends the presence of expensive option muddles things. Users expect different experience (not just faster) for 5x price.

@monkbent you'd be shocked if you saw how normal humans want to use iPads. Most business ppl want to recreate a *paper clipboard* workflow.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
