Hardware is great, this isn't ASUS's fault. First off, I love Android as a platform. ChromeOS is no Android folks.  Unlearn what you have learned. That platform team should take over this steaming heap of puzzlement. Netflix = NOPE. Buy a movie on the installed Google Play store and play on your very device? NOPE. Stream your purchased content in HD using your google account that you've just signed in with? NOPE. Stream from VUDU = Nope. Stream from any site reliably even Google product YouTube? NOPE. Just 'google' Chrome OS or Chromebox or Chromebook + HDCP. Nothing but issues with external displays regardless of HDMI cables and destination monitors on new 4k TVs.  No, it's not the HDMI cable nor the end monitor in terms of HDCP as the multitude of forums explain. Chromebooks are borked, often ---and Chromeboxes are ultra-borked due to reliance on external monitor.It continues: Browse an archive of Google Play Store content NOT supported by your ChromeOS = YES! This is shameful. Google with all of their other devices filters Google store results based on device compatibility. Why NOT with chromeOS? It is INSTALLED BY DEFAULT after all. Meh, not worth it ... I guess ... or wizards at Google can't figure this out on the app store submission side (or can and just choose NOT TO)? Or just let the consumer experiment and purchase streaming content they can't use? This is totally useless and as far as I am concerned dishonest advertising.  A complete user experience fail. Call the Google Play store BETA, experimental, have folks opt in with disclaimers that it is lackluster...whatever. I love Google products, and I'm an avid Android leg-thumper, and this just feels like an afterthought from boot to product return.  It should be STATED how limited this is especially when touting 4k streaming ... of what exactly...static webpage????Even more 'consumer experience" wonders: Want to force launch an app in full screen by default? Good luck. You can hit a key EVERY time, I guess. Remember, this is a desktop item folks. Hmmm...Now, if only there was a desktop environment invented which could display apps FULLSCREEN by default.... Great for education? Not if your kid needs to stream reliably something off of YouTube as an assignment. Wonder what hardware info on your chromeOS device? Google how to do that on ChromeOS and then view the laundry listed garbled text it actually spits out. You would first look into settings, am I right?  Want to close open all apps easily? Again Google how that is done via ChromeOS. Want to restore your device? Google how to do that and see how complicated it is (especially for Chromeboxes within non standard google keyboards)...and I'm not talking "powerwash", and why call it powerwash here and not the same terminology as in Android? Want to NOT sync all of your Android stuff when you sign in? You can toggle off the sync options, but it doesn't want to seem to listen as irrelevant stuff syncs on in. Want a task manager? ... buried within chrome browser, er, um app. Want to check some detailed settings? They are duplicated and splintered via deep links between the OS settings UI and the Chrome app browser settings ... seriously? All of this actually adds up to an inferior experience to a now defunct REMIX PC years ago.So, if you enjoy exotic animals of nature and googling all of their unique characteristics to figure them out, you'll love ChromeOS! If you want a mass consumer product that just works, is based on established desktop conventions and interface design----get something else.
