Are the low-end Chromebooks subsidized by Google? I'm surprised there aren't Ubuntu models at similar price points.

- mojombo 12y agoI've heard rumors that this is the case (at least for the Acer C720), though I can't confirm it. I did call Acer to speak with a sales rep and learned that Acer's cost to produce is nearly $250 (if their information can be trusted), so it seems that someone is subsidizing the cost.
