>>54639766
Chromebooks are wildly popular in K-12. So you might not see them as often in a university setting, but they're perfect for younger kids that aren't using special applications and have a curriculum designed around them.
>>54639766
They're mostly being bought up en-masse by K-12 School Districts. My old district bought into the meme and it worked out really well.
>Like 30x cheaper
>Well optimized and fast
>Easy to service/replace
>Does everything a kid needs to do on a computer (Research, make rudimentary slide shows and write papers, stealthfaps)
>Insanely easy to manage for admins
>Easy deployment for IT
>Updates are handled by Google
I got one for my parents even. I switched them over to Google services too. It's so much better than having to fix their fucking Windows Laptop or work around all of their microsoft shit.
They've got like 12k photos sitting on Google servers now, all tagged up withe everyone identified, all places properly located too, and the device parity between their chromebook and my parents Moto /g/ is just beautiful.
Gonna see if I can meme them into Google Play Music family plan so I can get on that shit.
>>54639847
>>54639870
Good shit. People talk a lot about the Apple ecosystem, but it's honestly awful compared to the Google one. When you have all that shit synced up it works so well. inb4 muh botnet, sorry I'm not a pedo, I don't have anything to worry about.
>>54639870
And now that you can get them with touchscreens it's easier to convince stupid teachers that they don't need shitty iPads.

I went back to my HS to visit some teachers, and saw that all the language classes were switching over to Chromebooks with Duolingo
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/duolingo/ebnhfamfopiobpaehmebmfjcgkaogihe?hl=en-US
I've played around with this, and it works just flawlessly on my own chromebook.
Google is absolutely JUST'ing M$ and Apple when it comes to educational products and support. I have no clue how they're actually going to compete.
>>54639955
Everything. Docs, slides, sheets, music, any app you downloaded etc
I usually write up papers on the subway on my C720. Pretty much everything except the obvious web stuff works offline now.
>>54639975
Apple is on a downward slope and has been since Steve died.
>>54639750
They're adding lenovo and hp to the list of sales, which means they're adding nice fat state contracts for schools. Apple has the same kind of contracts to so you really can't trust those numbers. If the numbers came from retailers, that would be a different story.
Personally I'm glad, I hate how every stupid chucklefuck has an iPhone; it loses all exclusivity. Keep Apple for the elite, let the masses have Google.

> we head toward the end of 2016 things should start picking up in terms of Windows 10 pilots turning into actual PC purchases
wtf, they're expecting consumers to like windows 10 so much they'll go out and buy new computers.
> United States – Dell overtook HP Inc. for the first place ranking for the first time since the third quarter of 2009, ending a run of 25 consecutive quarters with HP Inc. at the top of the U.S. PC market. Dell's U.S. PC shipments rose 4.2% year over year to 3.48 million – good for a 25.6% share. HP Inc's PC shipments to the U.S. fell 14.1% to 3.44 million units (25.3% share). Lenovo continued its aggressive growth trajectory as its 1.9 million units shipped represented 21.1% year-over-year growth and accounted for 14.1% of total U.S. PC shipments. Apple's Mac shipments rose 5.6% year over year to nearly 1.8 million (13.0% market share). Acer's shipments fell 10.4% to 0.7 million, but the company overtook ASUS and Toshiba to regain a seat in the U.S. top five.
Among computer makers, Apple sells more than most everyone else individually. Maybe Dell tops Apple, I'm not sure offhand.
This means Chromebooks also outsold pretty much every other individual computer maker.
>but but you're comparing the entire Chromebook market to single PC companies
yeah, but so are you when you compare market share of Windows to OSX, or Android to iOS.

Chromebooks are amazing for younger kids or even highschoolers because the teacher can manage an entire class from the master control panel. Pushing files, webpages and apps to each laptop is effortless and you can revoke rights with the flip of a switch. Google's Office suite is also a wonderful replacement for Microsoft office and it works just fine online and off.
They're ridiculously cheap to replace and have batteries that will last you for days. Content is usually synced at the end of the school day to a Google Drive for education which the teacher can access from home.

>>54640363
because you need full processing power when you're doing anything. using as much energy as possible.
Power management.
You don't need full processor speed when you're doing something as simple as writing shit on notepad or a document. There is value in throttling, the value is more battery time.
>>54640369

Was thinking about getting a chrome book for college. Used them in highschool because they give one out to every student until they graduate. They're easily broken and ugly but they are light weight and cheap. Would they be sufficient to use in college? They seemed fine when I used them.

No, the laptop I owned before my macbook was $800. Not a huge leap in price.
Chromebooks are great for people like me who burn through a cheapo laptop every two years just to sit in bed to write porn and meme. That competition should also drive prices further and further down, it's amazing how much they've already dropped for bottom of the barrel shit machines in only two years.

Can we get over this bullshit about calling Apple stuff "luxury".
I own a Macbook Pro and yeah it's well made and unlike most other laptops you can tell they actually put some thought into its design beyond just sorting through a random parts bin in Shenzhen but I would hardly call it luxury.
I like Apple hardware, and I certainly appreciate their overall design aesthetic and brand identity, but if you think they're a luxury good there's a good chance you're either retarded, poor, uncultured, or some combination thereof.

I'm not the guy with a MBA, I have a 15" rMBP (I'm also the one who made the comment about upgrading from an $800 Windows laptop). Poor people who come into money make stupid purchasing decisions and just get what costs the most, what's new? I'm not going to stop using my computer because black people sometimes also use the same model/brand. I'm pretty happy with my macbook, I'm not a fanboy. I have an Android phone and I also have a desktop I built myself for gaming. My macbook is approaching three years old now and it's held up way better than any windows laptop in my family. You probably can buy Windows laptops of equivalent or better specs and quality, I don't care. This computer was A) a gift to me and B) at the time I got it, I looked at comparable Windows laptops and everything with a high pixel density screen, was thin/not gaymur shit, and got decent battery life and had decent build quality cost about as much as a similarly configured macbook. Your shitposting is just extremely asinine "stop liking what I don't like".
I have a Toshiba Chromebook 2. Got it for $250 new and it's awesome. Even with the rather limited ChromeOS. Get around 13 hours on a charge with the screen at 60% brightness. 1080p screen, Celeron dual core, 4gb ddr3. Perfect for browsing and notes. My T420 is collecting dust and it's only ever turned on for when I need to run a VM on the go for classes.
but all you faggots fucking know that android apps are coming to chromebooks and i'm not talking about this ARC shit or whatever?

chromebooks are cheap and can support linux therefore I support them, because when dan-the-dumbass breaks his porn machine he can buy a new one. Also browser based eliminates OS wars as it is fairly true that while c/c#/c++ have to bridge the gap between hardware/assembly, html goes above both of those and just writes at the very top level, it also makes jobs in server farms as more traffic heads back to datacenters and therego more jobs.
I run windows tpads for domains, iOS as mobile devices light devices, and hp/dell/lenovo for desktops because enterprise styled durability longevity. I'm cool chromebooks just from the sense they bridge gaps and its really fun to put in dev mode. Your problems then become arch. type (IE: arm vs standard linux amd64) which is fun to solve.
>>54639750

this also gives alphabet/google the ability to hire pooIntheLoo indians who wouldn't be that bad, but who do not argue for hire pay as they see their Visa as payment enough. This lowers the cost of webdevs and degenerates the industry for html/css writers, and by association PHP developers of the webdev paradigm. It actually becomes shameful as many harder projects that require real design will deteriorate as lowly paid devs in the next few years quickly chop together pastebin/stackoverflow code that they don't understand. Most learning resources are already published online therefore removing the education gap as well and pay tolerance.
Go college kids. Their high prices once implanted in the industry will hopefully even out the pooloos cheap going rates, or they will be planted above pooloo for project management.
>>54641547

at least with so many webdevs hopefully open source projects become more popular as many html/css/php/webdev/django guys make 'firsts' learning projects. Creating branches to further development of long forgotten projects.

PLEASE show me one study that shows the opposite. People like you are probably too poor to afford apple therefore you create a bad image of Apple users inside your head as a defense mechanism
Like I said before, there are several reasons to dislike Apple products but denying reality just shows how butthurt and jelly you really are.

Must feel good being part of the 9% of iPhone users that can actually afford good storage for their device.
people who buy apple bought laptops in 2013 and 2014 and are waiting for the next tock rather than the sidesteps they've been since
in the next year or two if apple come out with something really good you might see them bother to upgrade

My gf just got a chrome book for her bday and honestly I spent like $900 on my last lenovo laptop but I'm actually really impressed with the like $300 chrome book...might actually switch over. From what I could tell just tooling around with it, they got rid of a fuck ton of bloat ware and besides a little needed app support its the perfect school and work tool...I mean it obviously isn't going to be something to play a game on or anything taxing like that but I find the simplicity of it really nice
>>54642225
I wonder what the statistics would be if it was just Galaxy S/Note series vs iPhones. Cause those results probably include all the poo in the loos with 10$ smartphones. Additionally, it is known that the Western market (where the rich people live) is saturated by Apple.
10 - 20 years from now we might see Android eat up the western market share as the older generations die grasping on to their precious iphones. Android/Google is doing the smart thing by getting their ecosystem into the hands of the younger generation so thet they'll continue buying it when they get older. Apple's death is looming.
i've never even seen a chromebook in real life before
this is wild
>>54642582
Actually most of these studies are based in USA. So they dont include all the poo2loo.

What makes you say that? Rate of people moving from android to iOS is higher than ever before.
>>54642582
Idk man I see every kid 3+ with an iPad or even the kids who have android (or whatever) tablets, call them ipads...unfortunately I don't think apple's totally missing that market, just maybe not as purposefully
>>54642160
El Capitan hasn't caused any slowdowns for me. And tablets can operate smoothly because they have a smaller workload to go along with their reduced processing horsepower.

Once you go apple its hard to go back.
Sure, most /g/ users are too autistic to even consider using an iPhone but in my case Android feels like garbage after using iOS for a while. And Im sure im not the only one.
>>54642676
Apple was pretty gay, I used it when I was younger and thank Kek everyday that I switched to Loonixes

Linux has skype you retarded dumbass
It can also run any Windows application with 99% efficiency
>>54642676
I definitely agree with this. It's not that I don't like Android, I do. I am using an Android device right now. The problem is that 1) the touch screen on pretty much any Android device feels clunky. 2) Android base install contains a bunch of crap modules that are useless because it doesn't install based on what your device supports. (IR blaster module on Nexus 6P? Really?) 3) Android memory management is a joke.
>>54642657
Rich people typically buy insurance for anything expensive they have because they have so much stuff that fixing everything they own themselves is just a waste of time. Apple's customer service is great if you can afford the repairs/applecare. My grandma has at least a million dollars. She does exactly this.
>>54639750
My Dell chromebook actually looks really professional, and is sturdy compared to most chromebooks. That combined with an i3, 4GB of RAM and a real operating system installed on it like Linux? And for only $180 refurbished? I can see why chromebooks are outselling Macs.
That said, most chromebooks are either too shitty because they're so cheap, or too expensive for what they can do. Never buy one new.
>>54642657
luxury items are often less durable and need a professional for assistance to work with. it's like comparing a Camry to a Ferrari. One you can probably work on, the other you're taking to the dealership and dropping it off when a problem comes along. apple forces this by doing things like soldered ram and making them hard open but who cares, it's their image and it works and it made them truckloads of dollars

Is standard Linux on a Chromebook good? I've considered it, but I worry that not using the manufacturer's speshul distro of Android would cripple battery life due to proprietary drivers or whatnot.
>>54640294
my thinkpad t42 from 2004 is 1.7ghz
>>54640478
apple throttling goes the opposite way around to keep it cool
other laptops throttle down when not doing anything particularly stressful, web browsing might idle a 3ghz processor at 1.8ghz
however with apple, as soon as you put a bit of strain on it and it starts to get hot, you go from 1.8ghz to 800mhz

Why would any of these depend on gravity?
>>54642949
no, it works just fine, seabios + any regular distro will run about the same
chromeOS is lightweight though, beleive it or not
even with the browser running in the background 24/7 it only takes about 250mb of ram to run
also, chromeOS isnt android, its a weird hybrid of the linux kernel, gentoo utilities like portage, and some other weird shit
not android though

Hard drive platters are quite rigid. They do not wobble, gravity or no.
>or keep the reader on the platters in a hard drive
The heads are held by spring pressure, and also hard drives work in any orientation even under gravity.

All within standard deviation
Your lack of being able to comprehend that would put you as a mac user at best
>>54643075
OS X and Linux aren't readily available on $200-300 laptops sold to people of Walmart. Windows is the only option for the dumbest. If Apple came out with a $300 laptop you'd see this lowered, because suddenly poor people can have the Apple brand to show off.

Except it's not even close.
Android market share is only increasing, while iOS is decreasing.
Apple's golden egg the iPhone is dying and once that is gone, they are finished (thank god).
>>54643056
But not being able to upgrade or even change it in any way is an amazing "luxury" feature!
It means you have the "luxury" of buying a whole new computer every year!
>>54642189
Totally agree with this. My best friend studied computer science at Calpoly, and him and his cohort can simply make their own pcs at far cheaper than apple can. IMO, if you have to buy your phone on a plan, you can't afford it and you shouldn't waste the money on it. I live in southern California, and I see so many fucking posers. Chicks with $2000 apple laptops with nearly no programs on them, wearing $300 dollar Rayban sunglasses with payless shoes and hand-me-down (vintage KEK) tops and cheap outlet purses. Obviously she is using money from her student loans for something like that.

Yes sadly Apple has become a sign of being nigger rich. Their brand image has gone to shit ever since Steve died.
>>54639750
Our university uses Chromebooks for taking notes and stuff in our science labs. They're pretty good, desu. I quite like them.

Android is increasing because of pic related. Poor people buying cheap smartphones for the first time buy Android. And if you're confused by my picture, I'm posting it because the main way people connect to the internet in Africa is through mobile devices since they're cheaper.
>>54643650
>>54642189
So much this.
Apple is the brand for people who want to show off their wealth, or rather, lack of it
>>54643670
Except Android market share is increasing in the US, the UK and all rich countries as well.
In a few years, iPhones will be just like Macs, 5% of the market, used only by hipsters and homosexuals.

>>54643753
>Android's market share is increasing because they are expanding the market with cheaper devices.
Yeah the price helps, but also the fact that they actually let other manufacturers use their operating system, so any company can make an Android phone.
Apple always shoots themselves in the foot by locking everything down, trying to make it their exclusive super special Apple product that no one else can produce.
Then there's not enough diversity and competition, so the superior products from outsiders takes their market.

Apple opening up iOS to third party OEMs would ruin their business strategy. Their whole appeal to normies is that Apple controls everything about their ecosystem to maintain a minimum quality of experience. People genuinely do see Android as the choice for people who can't afford Apple products because there are so many people with cheap Android phones.
>>54643780
Actually having android on shitphones deminishes the brand and the manufacturers mod the google botnet out, instead putting in their own botnet instead. So in the end google gets screwed over on the deal because ni adbucks and has to maintain an OS for chinks to rape and monitise on.
Apples approache makes sure you get quality every time.
Your newfag is really showing
so if apple sells 200,000 laptops and other companies sell a total of 1,000,000 chromebooks, who made more money?
