I don't think the use case for this laptop is content creation. Most people have no problem with Google Photos, which stores almost every photo in the cloud. Why would this be any different?

This is an iPad with a laptop-style human interface, isn't it?



Absolutely it is. And honestly, yes, the only person who will be able to use this device successfully and be happy is the person who would also consider, and (from a software perspective) be completely satisfied with the capabilities of, a Chromebook. Everything stored exclusively in cloud services, and preferably not the Apple ones, since iCloud Drive will just end up wasting more of their disk space.

I guess I'll agree that as a direct Chromebook replacement (And I mean literally, just download Chrome after first boot and ignore everything else on there besides maybe the Messages app), this can be a decent device.
