My Cousin has one, but it doesn't have the mouse buttons on it - it does have the trackpad though. They're more like a Tablet with a fixed, rather than on-screen keyboard - you download apps like a Tablet on my Cousin's.
No. This is the what they look like

It has a 32GB hard drive like a Tablet, but it also comes with a slot for a Memory Card, so you could expand it. It doesn't have the hard drive of a normal Laptop.

They are similar, kloof, but they're a bit more adapatable, as you can see in the photos. Still doesn't have a "Normal" hard drive like a Laptop though or CD/DVD drive.

A chrome book is primarily for browsing the internet and storing your 'stuff' in the cloud.
For example you create and store documents via Google Drive; you use GMail for your emails which are stored in the cloud; Picasa for your photos, Play Music for music
The advantages are the machine should be quick and theoretically you will never lose your 'stuff' if it is lost/stolen/dead.
The obvious disadvantage is that a Chrome Book is next to useless if you can't connect to the internet for any reason.
