Windows-based ultrabooks are selling slowly as it is, and Google thinks $1,000+ ChromeOS devices will sell better? They really should stick to ARM-based $250 C

They really should stick to ARM-based $250 Chromebooks. But this time please put at least a 10" tablet-battery, not a 7" tablet battery inside the Chromebook.
- bnolsen 13y agoPretty much all of the existing ARM socs out there suck majorly for gpu support. I really believe Bay Trail will shove arm out of the chromebook/netbook market just because people will be able to tinker with the thing. As much as I had been rooting for arm a few years ago I'm totally soured on the utter crap support situation. If ARM starts bleeding market it will totally be on their own shoulders for not doing anything about the closed drivers situation.
