Pretty sure we're talking about home use. Windows is overkill for the majority of non-techy computer users. For them, a Chromebook runs better, is more secure, affordable, and is much less of a hassle to deal with. That last point runs both ways, I get much fewer calls/texts/emails asking for help from the family with Chromebooks than I did compared to Windows machines.
Ok, that obviously makes sense.
I'd still hate that though. Most company PCs are desktops, AFAIK. So if consumer space is lost, what sort of quality of consumer grade laptops can we expect, and at what prices?
There is not much a Chromebook can't do that I need (more or less often), but for those times I do.. When my laptop broke 3 years back, and I had to do with an iPad2.. That was really hard. I imagine Chromebooks would feel similar TO ME.
How is file management in ChromeOS?
I do that really a lot. Photos, music, videos, documents, bills, receipts..
I suppose we will all adjust as time goes.
