Also note that this is not just an issue for business travelers. Thus Google's 'anytime, anywhere' claim is highly questionable. But offline web apps are an exception, not the rule. Yes, there are web apps that also work offline. The point is that, with a Windows notebook, you can indeed guarantee that your data is accessible anytime and anywhere at maximum speed, but you certainly cannot guarantee this with a Chromebook.

But tell this to a business traveler who really needs access to his data and applications when no internet connection is available. You might argue that this doesn't bother you because you have a high-speed Internet connection anyway. I certainly would have preferred a download link so I could watch the video offline, without interruption, anywhere and anytime. Even though Internet speed in the Philippines is definitely above average compared to other locations in Asia, I wasn't able to watch the video continuously even though I used the lowest available resolution. I was trying to watch the video in Boracay in the Philippines (by the way, one of the world's best beaches).

Watching the keynote was a nice case in point of the limited accessibility of web apps. Google touts the anytime and anywhere accessibility of web apps as one of the major advantages of Chromebooks.
