>That still hasn't happened. Chromebooks are at around 10-20% of laptop sales, running Android (based on Linux)

  How much of that is school sales? Anecdotally, I don't know a single person who has bought a Chromebook for personal use.

    I think it is common to buy them for older relatives who need something simple and low-maintenance.

    My wife's laptop is a Chromebook. My kids also had a Chromebook but 2 died in quick succession and I got fed up with the fact that the ones available for sale in my country are only the really shit models and buying one from overseas means no support or returns. So I've bought them a MacBook instead - not my first choice but Apple sell locally and have reasonable (existent) support.

      I looked at Chromebooks, but when I added a few requirements (touch screen is a big deal for me), the price goes up above a cheap refurbished Windows laptop. Of course computer prices fluctuate, and the moment I think I know what I'm talking about, I'm wrong.
