Misleading headline aside, the article's sentiment is on-point. It's where the low end of the market is going, and the use cases are becoming common enough that they make sense for a lot of different kinds of consumers. I replaced my wife's netbook with a $199 Acer Chromebook about six months ago, and it's simply a better experience. It does less, but it does less well. I'm still way happier with my MBP, but I know that I'm not the target audience.
