This is *so* disappointing. Everything else about the chromebook is stellar, but neglecting the GPU is a big no-no.
Basically you want to recommend someone:

1) a tablet (iPad/iPad2/PlayBook/Touchpad/Android Slates)

2) or you would want to recommend a "thin&light"/culv/"notbook" like the new Macbook Airs or Windows7 with:
a dedicated gpu (>ATi4330) and a cpu with SU3500>SU7300>i5-470UM>i7 2657M (Sandy Bridge has intel hd3000 which is comparable to Nvidia 320M/ATi 5450).

3) or you would recommend a cheap notebook like an internet special/refurbished/used one, or one which has AMD's new APU (which is only comparable to my SU7300+4330).

... markets just too crowded to take any netbook + Chrome seriously.
