4 out of 5 eggsVery nice, but delicate power connector and I hate trackpads

Pros: Very nice keyboard. Bay Trail Celeron plenty fast, has no fan. ChromeOS surprisingly usable even when no internet available. I run in developer mode with Ubuntu 14.4 under Crouton, easily switches between ChromeOS and Crouton using a comon Linux kernel. Very nice! Stable enough that can simply shut the lid to suspend, don't see the "scary" power-on developer mode screen for weeks. Celeron processor means many apps easily available under Ubuntu (ARM is still gaining traction). Cool MacBook Air styling if you're into that. Considered getting a new MSWin Netbook and dual booting, but ChromOS+Crouton has been a much better experience.

Cons: Macbook air styling brings compromises: a small power connector and no access to the battery. Power connector barrel is a dainty 2.5mm diameter, versus 5.5mm on my old Acer netbook. My connector failed out of the box (intermittent, even when fully inserted), asked Samsung to replace the power supply rather than return entire purchase. My old Nokia 770 had a similar connector, worked for years.
Default trackpad configuration is unusable when touch typing, a slight brush with the palm brings the usual calamity. Can turn off tap-to-click and use the mechanical switch in the lower half of the trackpad under ChromeOS (use ALT key for right-click), but cannot turn off touch scrolling. In fact, can't configure much of anything about the trackpad under ChromeOS. Cannot shut down the trackpad when a USB mouse is plugged in. I am happy enough with the trackpad now.
Using Ubuntu 14.4 under Crouton, can disable touch-to-click and touch scrolling, press the lower right corner of the touchpad for a right click. (This right-click method does not work under Ubuntu 12.4.)

Other Thoughts: I spent an hour typing up a review, hit submit and got dumped back into the login screen. Had to reenter. I am suddenly very grumpy.
