If a device has the same form factor and approximately the same price I'd say it's in the same category by most standards. If part of Google's plan is to get ChromeBooks down to $99 or maybe $199 then it might be successful.
- jonknee 15y agoThey're selling to businesses who know the price tag of an item isn't what it says on the package. Google believes they can reduce your IT costs enough that a ChromeBook pays for itself. It's not a race to the bottom, it's a race to the Cloud. The problem is there aren't a lot of enterprises that are (yet) completely web based. It's going that way and there are more every day, but Google's still ahead of the curve with ChromeOS.
