Apple isn’t selling to third parties, but I bet Google wants to. Google must be putting pressure on Qualcomm, and maybe Nvidia, to make something competitive. If they try, within a few years I’m sure someone can.

Imagine 3 years from now there are a bunch of Chromebooks selling at Chromebook prices, but offering intel performance. That would start to hurt Microsoft.



From the way they have been selling in Europe, there is a very long path to go.

Chromebooks are only relevant in US school system.


Chromebooks are actually widely used in schools in the Nordics.


Here in Germany they just do timid apperances in some consumer stores and then are reduced in endless offerings until someone finally takes them away.

Very few people are willing to pay the same price as a regular laptop for what seems just a big browser OS.
