Yet you can't find an atom netbook for less than $250. I'm assuming the thing is running an atom chip, so I expect them to price it comparably. Of course there is no "MS Tax" since ChromeOS should be free, but I still think they will try to price it at $250 at least. I'm with you though, I think that would be too much.
atom netbooks also have like 250gb hard drives and such.
these ChromeOS notebooks won't have that kind of thing.
the CR-48 for example, has 16gb total.
