Nice - I like Chromebooks for on-the-go work because they are light, have great battery life, and Google's tentacles make for a slick UI.

I use crouton and xiwi, though, because while native is nice, you can't beat surfacing X windows into Chrome tabs. I love the cheap 10-11" ones for stuff like OpenSCAD and KiCAD.

(Also, if you keep your work backed up offline, $200-300 for a replacement isn't bad, compared to a high-end powerhouse. That's nice in a mobile machine; life happens.)
