Chromebook is the rare HW consumer device that Google created that is a success. Not just that it made a dent into Apple's ecosystem and is now the most popular product in education.
- EamonnMR 6y agoI wonder if much of Apple's desktop success came from educating a generation of students with Macs... and I wonder if that bodes well for Chromebooks into the future.
- tcbawo 6y agoBefore Macs, the Apple II series we're enormously successful in schools throughout the 80s and early 90s.
- listic 6y agoThey are mostly popular in the USA, aren't they?
- izacus 6y agoI wonder how much that is caused by the fact that they don't sell them outside USA. It's really really hard to actually get a Chromebook in Europe, the availability is pretty poor.
- ponker 6y agoThat’s very weird and unfortunate since poorer countries have a much more desperate need for inexpensive computers. Any idea of the rationale?
- qz2 6y agoIt's really not. Schools are crammed full of them in the UK as well.
- ksec 6y agoGoogle are exceptionally poor ( To say the least ) at distribution for a company of their size. Just Look at Pixel Phone.
- toyg 6y agoYeah, people keep talking about this but I’ve never, ever seen Chromebooks in the wild in my corner of England.
- gburdell3 6y agoA lot of school districts buy tons of them for students to use, but I'm not sure how many individuals actually choose to buy a Chromebook over a traditional laptop.
- treeman79 6y agoSchool got our kids chromebooks for Covid. Nothing but endless problems with them. We replaced them with ...”Chromebooks” They work great for kids. 400 dollars seems to be the spot where they are usable.
