I was going to post this if somebody else didn't. To add one important detail: the HP Stream you linked doesn't just exist as a proof of concept or whatever, which would be one thing, but it's currently outselling all the Chromebooks (and every other laptop for that matter) on Amazon. Chromebooks dominated in 2014, but they've been bumped and I'm not sure they'll ever be back at the top. Rather than a sea change, it looks like Google was just ahead of its competitors for a year, and now that year has come and gone.

Actually that was a USA only phenomenon, I never saw Chromebooks live in Europe. Here in Germany, some chain stores do have a few of them at their little corner being ignored by everyone.

  It's also perhaps that Germans are vary before an OS which is an internet machine and comes from a company where main revenue is ad business.

  Pretty sure Chromebooks dominated amazon.co.uk for a while too...

      I wasn't 100% so I had a quick look. Here's a blog post from 2012 with the Samsung/ARM Chromebook shown as the top seller in laptops in the UK (you have to scroll right down to the bottom). http://googlesystem.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/chromebooks-best-selling-laptops.html http://googlesystem.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/chromebooks-best-... You're right though, it wasn't 2014, it was 2012.
