- stephenr 11y agoAn iPhone is not billed as a replacement for a laptop (which ChromeOS devices most definitely are). Also, they can run the vast majority of web apps in addition to native iOS apps. iPhone development shares first party language support (albeit with some different frameworks) with a major desktop OS, and has third party support for a number of other languages.
- amerkhalid 11y agoI think most people buying it know that it is not a full OS like Windows or Linux but sure my experience is with developers mostly. Personally, I use my Chromebook for everything but serious dev work and photos & video work. Some of the things that I could not do on my phone/iPad that I use my Chromebook for are serious research, taking notes, watching movies in bed, using Google's Spreadsheets, minor dev via ssh and vim, and loaning it to guests and friends without a worry.
