What does this say about the future of ChromeOS ? Is the pendulum swinging back to Android ?
- lupire 4y agoChromeOS is extremely popular and deployed by major laptop companies like Lenovo and HP and Acer and Asus.
- CharlesW 4y agoIt's extremely popular in schools, but is it anywhere else? (Not a dig BTW, that's a significant accomplishment.)
- pjmlp 4y agoIn US schools mostly.
- thesuperbigfrog 4y agoChromebooks in US schools seem to be going away. Children in schools where I live now receive cheap, rugged Lenovo laptops that are running locked down Windows 11: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/lenovo/windows-edu-laptops/lenovo-14w/88el10s9990 https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/lenovo/windows-edu-la... Most schools and universities that I know of have also adopted Office 365 for their students and teachers ever since Google abandoned their inexpensive or free education offerings: https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/14/google_free_storage_plan_ends_opinion_column/ https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/14/google_free_storage_p... It looks like Google's goals changed and Microsoft took advantage of the opportunity.
- pjmlp 4y agoInterestingly to know. Usually in most places in Europe you still get to use pen and paper, computer is at home thing, or some kind of computer lab. Schools where everyone gets a laptop kind of device, are the exception. Even in COVID times, it up to the family to get them, mostly.
- tssva 4y agoThey are still going strong in all the school districts around me.
- CharlesW 4y agoHere too (San Diego area).
- hulitu 4y ago> ChromeOS is extremely popular Maybe in US. In DE they are the product noone uses.
