Ummm, I'm pretty geeky. But I haven't been following Chrome in detail, so I don't have a clue what this box is for or what it actually does.

Reminded me of this: http://www.theonion.com/video/sony-releases-new-stupid-piece...

You weren't immediately aware that this was a desktop version of the Chromebooks that you've probably heard of?

Chromebooks?

Is that what it is? That's certainly not clear from the "landing page". I assumed from the form factor that it was some sort of Home Theater PC (HTPC). Honestly.

no, I had assumed it was an HTPC from the landing page.

I've completely forgotten that Chromebooks even exist because I've never heard of anyone buying one.

Not at all.
