Microsoft To Counter Chromebooks
Here's Proof That Microsoft Is Terrified Of Google's Chromebooks | Business Insider India
During the company's Worldwide Partner Conference on Monday, Microsoft announced that extremely cheap Windows 8.1 notebooks will be coming soon from HP, Acer, and Toshiba. HP will launch a $199 laptop called the Stream, according to The Verge, while Acer and Toshiba plan to release notebooks starting at $249. Acer's notebook will come with a 15.6-inch display, while Toshiba's will feature an 11.6-inch screen. We have yet to hear any details about HP's upcoming laptop. |
Zune, anyone??

Fighting for dominance of the bottom. The consumers benefit from competition. This should be fun! More please!

Will this be real Win 8.x or RT canine excrement?

People are still buying chromebooks? Weird.

This is just time-share computing by another name -- this paradigm got its throat slit in the 70s when the PC came around. For good reason. Of course the real problem I have with ChromeOS is that it rams Google's ecosystem up my anus forcibly. With Android, I can do most things with a private server and give virtually no data to Google without loss of functionality. Not so with ChromeOS if you want a remotely usable system. I think I'll keep using the used Thinkpad X201 that I bought last month, upgraded to SSD. Fast, functional, can dual-boot Win 7 and Debian for the best of all worlds :) And it cost under $300! |

Newegg has a refurb X201 (160GB/4GB) for $324 . . . swamp in a SSD . . . I don't think the math is under $300 even when a refurb is at $240
