Unfortunately, the touchpad is very labile. It hangs down sometimes when clicking in the corners. At light load the keyboard half of Chromebooks is even clicked unintentionally. Samsung needs to rework the touchpad definitely! The familiar Windows laptops operation is difficult, but possible if you work carefully. No problem working with touch gestures like left click = a single finger tap, right-click with two fingers = Touch or scrolling = two finger slide on the touchpad.
Connection to my TV via HDMI works.
An SD card in SD card reader peeps pushed out sideways. The temporarily inserting an SD card for transferring data is possible, but probably not the lasting memory expansion.
I miss nothing with Chrome OS. With Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, etc. everyday tasks are a delight. Even non-Google services to reach naturally in the browser. The editing of websites is unfortunately difficult because the Rich Text Editor in TYPO3 will not be displayed. On my PC (Windows 7) with Chrome browser that is possible on the Chromebook not. I find it a pity that thus not the same usability extent as given to the Chrome browser on your PC for me. (*** The problem took care of itself after OS update! See below ***)
Despite the touchpad problem I will keep the unit and do not return. I can not think of an alternative that is as mobile, quickly and easily.
Addendum:
The processing could be better, I am of laptops (Samsung) and Eee PC (Asus) much better used. A corner one can easily push in creaking noises disguise. I am curious if I'll still have a long fun with the Chromebook.
The viewing angles of the display are low. The image is milky quickly if you do not watch it at right angles.

Addendum on 10/18/2013:
After the update on Chrome OS Version 30.0.1599.101 is in TYPO3 finally the text editor arrived!
Addendum on 02/05/2014:
Unfortunately the text editor the next Chrome OS update was gone. But I have a solution: With the Chrome extension "Ultimate User Agent Switcher, URL sniffer" is about. Simply put the user agent to Firefox. The hardware has been proven by the way. I have fun with the Chromebook.
