hilarious.

“It’s so limited!” the man in his 20′s was saying while sitting in front of one of the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 devices, and idly playing with the clickable trackpad. He was saying this to two friends that had crowded around the device and a staff member who was managing to stay calm while defending the Chromebook’s existence. “For 350 quid [Brit-speak for pounds] you can get so much more.”

He looked up at the staff member and asked, hopefully, “Is this going to have iTunes?”

“No.”

“See what I mean!” he cried.

“There’s Grooveshark,” one of the friends piped up.

“All I’m saying is it’s a computer for solely online purposes. Why? You could just buy a netbook and install Chrome on it.” He gesticulated at the screen. “It’s just a shell with Internet.”
