I recently bought the Samsung Chromebook and am enjoying it so far. It was only $249 and seems to be everything I need for what I do. I like it because it's so lightweight and small. The only negative I've come across so far is that since it's google chrome based I can only access my files of things online only. So when I'm on the plane flying I can't watch one of my movies in the google movie play if I don't have Wifi. But hoping I'm wrong and I can figure something out. Otherwise seems like a great price for what I got. I didn't want to spend a lot on a computer.

The known information of Chromebook is that, it is a better product with several in built security layers which will make it possible to use as secure machine without any other internet security software. Did you find this in your chromebook? It is much better than other PC with no much security.

The information on Amazon says
"Stay connected in-flight
With your Chromebook, you can get online at 10,000 feet with free Gogo in-air internet passes. Your Chromebook comes with 12 free passes (estimated $150 value) that you can use over 2 years on domestic US flights."

Check the documentation that came with the machine or contact the dealer or Samsung support.

You could buy better notebook for $249 and you could install ChromeOS to it. Or dualboot with Windows or Linux so you could able to watch movies in offline mode.
The ChromeOS is a very alpha operating system. It's concept a few years ahead of its time. It's impossible to be online everywhere in 2013 with wifi neither with mobile network. And the latter (mobile internet) is quite expensive and restricted solution.
