It's a good question and frankly I was quite surprised to realize, after using my chromebook for a while, that I was subconsciously turning to the chromebook rather than the macbook for browsing because the experience is just better. If you are looking for the least clunky way to browse the Web, it's not the Apple product (that was the surprise). Chrome OS boots faster and feels much lighter without all the icons and menus that you find in a regular OS.
The ARM chromebook also feels nicer because it has no fan. This simple detail makes it feel less like a computer and more like a tablet.
The most astonishing is that these two points give the ARM chromebook the edge over the macbook even despite its very poor screen.
That being said, I do occasionally turn to the macbook for in-browser work, when the low power of the ARM chromebook is too palpable.
