Strollin takes the middle ground and would like a computer that is able to use the cloud to supply his apps and data, but would like to continue working without connectivity just like Mr Wizard is able to do, meaning he would have access to his apps and data locally until connectivity resumed, then work would be saved and operations would resume (seamlessly?) on the updated cloud.
This is exactly the way Google Drive and Google Docs work today. I can designate which of my files I want to be resident on a device of mine and then those documents can be accessed and/or updated when I am off the grid. They will be synced with the cloud and my other devices when an Internet connection is available. I don't have a Chromebook but I am fairly sure they work the same way there.
