My girlfriend have me have already decided to get one so we can watch Iplayer and YouTube in bed. We already use an iPad but our number one complaint is its too small!
The Acer Chromebook 15 is giant, has great battery life, stands itself up, and you can buy two of them for the price of an iPad.
No iTunes, but you can get the same content other places.
Youre going to spend that much money for youtube? Couldn't you do the same with a 35 dollar chromecast?
Not everyone has a TV in the bedroom already.
And not everyone can conveniently hang one up (I live in an apartment). Plus, you get the option of portability too. For now my wife and I just use our MacBooks.
Okay.. but the Apple TV isn't an actual TV.
I'd just mount a tv; don't need to hold it.
For $799 you could get a nice TV and an Apple TV.
If all you want is something with a big screen to watch videos with, there are plenty of cheaper and bigger options out there than a $700 Surface knock-off.
