^I second this. Chromebooks are very good for their price point, not sure how well they would be for Minecraft since they have Celeron processors at 1.4ghz though. I am buying one for college, but that is only because I use Google for everything and just need something to take notes on.

OT-If you have a budget of ~$500, I would recommend [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Chromebooks run chromeos, chromeos does not support any applications besides from ones in the chrome store (or whatever it's called) hence it is near impossible to play minecraft on a chromebook.

You would be able to play Minecraft on a chromebook, just need to root it. Pretty easy process to do, however I do understand what you mean because it would be incompatible from the factory. I just enjoy having fun with my technology.
