Two reasons I don’t see the Chromebook taking off:
- We aren’t ready for 100% cloud living yet. Even if we could do everything online 3G connections are just too slow/unreliable. But in reality most of us still use a lot of offline apps.
- £400 in the UK for the 3G model? Come on! I can get a fully functional notebook with Windows for that. I could then dual boot into Chrome OS. Too expensive.
I get tablets, I get netbooks, I get full powered laptops. There’s no place for the “Chromebook”.
Discuss.
Agree with the 2nd point. I can’t help thinking that the “market” will expect non-Windows notebooks to be cheaper. That said the Series 5 looks like a quality build so it’s not so clear cut.
However, regarding the first point, I must admit that Chrome (the browser) is about the only thing I run on my netbook these days! So, for me at least, if the price stacked up, the Chromebook would be a good option. But if I had £400 to spend I’d just get a fully functional Windows netbook – why wouldn’t I?
