Way off target (sorry) but I wonder when consumer Chromebook-like devices running Fushia will be generally available.
It is partly because of some dissatisfaction with Apple that I have been looking kindly at Chromebooks. For the price of a magic keyboard cover for an iPad Pro, I bought a Lenovo Chromebook last year (including a keyboard cover with trackpad and pen stylus) that does fine for enjoying all types of media, and if I don’t run anything else then the Linux container system is adequate for some light weight development.
If Fushia ends up being good, I look forward to something like a Chromebook that uses it.

- pjmlp 5y agoSo you already have your ChromeOS, just by starting Chrome. :)
- pier25 5y agoFuchsia could very well become a universal OS (mobile, desktop, tv, wearables). Not sure what are Google's intentions though. Maybe they will end up killing it as they typically do.
