Then use ChromiumOS, you can decide on which.

What did they mean by this?

Largely because to make ChromeOS useful you need a personal server or pay for monthly cloud access from someone else. Then there's the instability of crouton it's self, that when ever chromeOS updates, your chroot linux install is completely broken and you have to wait a day or two for the crouton update. And dualbooting is a bitch on a chromebook. Throw in the fact that companies are finally starting to throw in halfway decent hardware in Chromebooks, with quality build construction and it's taken a LONG time for people to really understand what they are for. They are NOT for the casual user. They are power user devices meant to be hacked and cracked.

What's even the point of an ultrabook? Netbooks were called netbooks because they were so small that they were best at doing nothing but browsing the web, but at least you get a tiny little laptop to carry around with you, which has advantages. (Using on a school desk, for example.) Ultrabooks are normal-sized, (just thin,) you might as well get a good laptop.
