Can they at least put an i3 in this thing. As the cloud expands and better cloud based applications come on line, the celeron is going to fall behind just like it has for standard windows machines. it may take a year or two for more robust applications to develop.
I wish AMD would get on board this train with an APU. but I don't think they make anything that is fanless at this time.
But the cloud is they wave of the future. it was talked about at the turn of the century but didn't catch on until a couple of years ago. But I see more and more internet driven applications developing in the consumer market. After all, the internet is not just for email and web surfing.
I'm hoping i3 with m2 or pci-e slot open. Basically would be a sweet bring your own os ultabook without stupid stuff I don't need pushing it over $1000.
With the US release is scheduled for October 5 which doesn't give much time to change the processor to something better than the slow N2840 Bay Trail mentioned in the official spec sheet. I completely understand their reasoning to go with a fanless design but you'd think they could have at least used the quad core N2940 instead to try and at least keep performance in line with last years model.

Very pleased to see an IPS 1080p display, I'm still hoping for a backlit keyboard and metal chassis as Chromebooks edge more upmarket.landale - Wednesday, September 3, 2014 - link
