Chromebook positioning has repeatedly changed, "cloud computing" out of the question, but
frequently to "cheap laptop" show his face.
When Chromebook launch in late 2010, oogle also announced the business and school users of
cloud computing ser!ices package price, 2" or # 20 per user per month. $owe!er, Chromebook is
difficult to open the market in the commercial users, because it can only be used on the %nternet,
write documents, and e!en &hotoshop are not a!ailable. 'lternati!e operating systems too, the
people used to use Windows software completely in the door.
%n the school market, oogle has made some progress, Chromebook has stationed more than
2,000 schools nationwide. (n the other hand, as the staunchest supporters Chromebook, 'cer
belie!es the main people buy this product was "hea!y users of educational institutions."
$owe!er, according to data disclosed 'cer )anuary this year, Chromebook sales is not ideal. *ince
+o!ember last year, 'cer laptops sold in the ,nited *tates, about -.10/ is Chromebook.
'ccording to artner, the fourth quarter of last year, 'cer is the fourth largest &C maker, shipped
about 10" million units. 1imit calculated by 'cer Chromebook has sold nearly 12 million units,
while the ,.*. market sold a total of 13.- million units &C, 'cer Chromebook only 0."/, almost
negligible.
%n China, Chromebook is hard to find. (n the one hand, oogle4s !arious ser!ices in the mainland
acclimati5ed, so that consumers rely hea!ily on oogle4s Chromebook prohibiti!e6 on the other
hand, China4s demand for a !ariety of college notebooks, not only to be able to write papers,
browse the web, but also to be able to playing games, watching mo!ies. 7his is precisely the
Chromebook difficult task.
7o promote sales, Chromebook manufacturers started to play the price card, listed in 8ecember
last year, 'cer C3 is as low as # 200. $owe!er, most products are still ho!ering high on three or
four hundred dollars. %f it is in 2010, so the price may be able to access under this one with higher6
9ut by 2010, the %nternet has long twilight, Chromebook sword around, but only see tablets and
ultra.e:treme speeding away back.
;or this is not a successful product, oogle made a fatal mistake< it wants to access the notebook
features stripped out, makeo!ers sell tight budget, and "a product to meet a !ariety of needs," the
technology trend poles apart.
Whether oogle how to package, Chromebook is essentially =ust after a simple upgrade of the
%nternet. %n 2010, a portable, low.cost %nternet de!ice may be a good choice6 9ut in smartphones
and tablet &Cs e!erything and mobility needs of the moment, only the %nternet Chromebook no
ad!antage at all, only to be left together and netbooks fall in the corner.

the temperament of the mobile era. 1." kg of hea!y build, not only in the face of i&ad make it
seem "silly and crude" in the face of super pole is also no ad!antage >o!er most of this weight is
usually around 1.1 kilograms?. (n the other hand, Chrome (* has failed to create an application
ecosystem, mainly software was de!eloped by oogle itself6 contrast, both maturing i(* and
'ndroid, or is accelerating the Windows &hone, application of the ecosystem in flourishing.
's for the ad!antages, Chromebook commendable perhaps only "oogle" the name of the.
$owe!er, the "oogle halo" disappeared, as frail orphan &C era, Chromebook will be where is
