I haven't seen anyone mention what I suspect is the target audience for Chromebooks - aging Americans. This is expected to be one of the fastest growing demographics in the United States thanks to the Post-World War II Baby Boom of the late 1940-1960's.
"The older population--persons 65 years or older--numbered 39.6 million in 2009 (the latest year for which data is available). They represented 12.9% of the U.S. population, about one in every eight Americans. By 2030, there will be about 72.1 million older persons, more than twice their number in 2000. People 65+ represented 12.4% of the population in the year 2000 but are expected to grow to be 19% of the population by 2030."

- munificent 13y ago> I haven't seen anyone mention what I suspect is the target audience for Chromebooks - aging Americans. Not just aging Americans, but kids of aging Americans buying computers for their parents. That's why "no viruses" and "no configuration" are such big deals: Chromebooks are a solution to the dreaded "home for the holidays, spending eight hours fixing Dad's horribly infested PC" problem.
