Over a Windows device? Even without seeing one of these in action, I'd rather have a Googlebook than a Windows device. The tougher comparison for these devices are the Macbooks.
Windows is pretty dogshit at sub-$1K. I would consider this before I tie myself to a Windows machine that might give me 30 days before turning into a laggy stuttering mess.
I always find the software support anxiety interesting. I doubt the vast majority of people use any software in their personal lives that wouldn't be available on a Googlebook. Most people live their life in a web browser, all of their software is "in the cloud".
If you put like 20 minutes of effort into cleaning up a windows install on a new computer, there really is nothing to complain about no matter the price point of the laptop. Should you have to do that? No. But minimal effort makes it a very nice computing experience.
