Those look interesting, definitely a step in the right direction. It's kinda surprising that Samsung is not part of this lineup when they were the spearhead of decently powerful Chromebooks. Did Google come with contractual obligations that made it a hard sell ? At least Lenovo is in it. A weirder aspect of this: why North America only ? In particular, Lenovo or Acer have no such geographical bias, does it mean we'll have a west/east split, with more advanced models only available in Asian markets again ? Edit: FHD was probably the reasons Samsung is not part of this. That's an awfully low resolution compared to what they've been pushing up until now.
