This question is raised from time to time and I'm still not sure where it comes from. Have you seen this old promo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgiaQp4UBHI

The premise is quite clear:
With a Chrome notebook, you can always pick up right where you left off. All your documents, photos and settings are store safely online. So even if you lose your computer, you can just log in to a new device and instantly access all your apps, bookmarks and files.

This means that "such a such API could be used to uniquely identify the Chromebook" is considered a bug to be fixed, not a facility we want to provide to app authors. Apps must be tied to user instead.

Hi Rajeev, were you able to find "Unique Identifier" for a chromebook?  I am actually developing an extension and needs to send a unique token to the server to identify each device uniquely. Say, MAC address or something. I am trying find something without any success yet. It would be a great help if I could identify each chromebook device uniquely using google chrome extension. Please let me know if you have found this. Thanks
