🌲bot🌲 (npub1pnp…52zw) Fe₂🦀₃⋅H₂🦀 (npub1y6t…9wl9) Clout Chaser 🗿 (npub15t4…07eu) gray (npub12h8…mz5h) Mr. Fuzzland (npub1tu7…knev) Home desktop ownership has been trending downward, and I bet Google is banking on that to continue as they offer a desktop alternative in their Chromebooks. While a PC gamer can differentiate between a high end PC and a budget notebook, a layman will look at both and call them both computers (and the notebook’s portable, too). Why would a parent, without some other motive, get their child a $1200 computer when they have a $200 one from school and a $500 console they can play games on already?
Google doesn’t need to capture 100% of people right away, they only need the critical mass that Windows has to keep it going without further investment; after which people will learn ChromeOS because their teachers and parents learned ChromeOS.
The data’s good, too. Chromebooks being a loss leader to percolate Google into all things education and corporate nets them a lot of it, but I’m talking about what comes after Google has their data: they want control, and that’s easiest when you’re a part of nearly every facet of people’s lives.
