Did the component tear-down price justify the Chromebook's low price, or was Google subsidizing them?

- skystorm 15y agoThe Cr-48 discussed here was given out for free (sort of like a beta tester program), so that was by definition subsidized. ;) And as far as I could tell, the "actual" Chromebooks that went on sale later one have been priced comparable to their non Chrome OS counterparts, so I don't think there were any subsidies in play.
