Christ. I can't imagine wanting something with the name 'Google' attached.
Although, Chromebooks sucked pretty bad. I can see why they want to diverge here.
So ... go all in on the evil? If you read the article, they sound fukin horrid.
ChromeOs is fine for an Internet browser, not sure anything else. I set one up for my ex's grandparents and it was perfect for them, they were able to login to their email and read all the insane right-wing emails they were subscribed to. I gave them Netflix to try to curb the 24/7 viewing of fox News.
Chromebooks are very successful in the kinds of market where a facility needs to buy them by the thousands for staff/faculty. Schools, for example. They use all the Google platform apps Docs, workplace Gmail sheets etc. all integrated, kept on the cloud so that a device that falls in a river has not lost a shred of data. They’re able to be locked down with admin policies and bottom line is the cost per unit is very low. And you get the great feeling of the people who are in charge of all this being entirely clueless that every fucking byte of data is being harvested and analyzed, aggregated, and monetized.
Ofc Micro$lop did all the same things except cost
Same, my mom is 72 and uses one. It's a life saver for her because it's so strait forward.
