Chromebooks were originally intended as a consumer product and service. Now that Google realizes that, because of tablets and other cheap alternatives, the consumer ain’t buying, they’re having to redirect their efforts and marketing towards the business sector. Can’t let all that time and effort and money they wasted go to, well waste.

Chromebooks is an idea that belongs in the 1970s, and, if it had been released some 30 years ago, before Windows and Macs happened, it would’ve stood a chance.

I wonder how much of a “break” Logitech and Jason’s Deli got in order to be Chromebook’s first business customers?

Still, zero trouble tickets is a very inspiring number, ignoring any downside, of course.

thin-desk clients make a lot of sense in the corporate world — most business users just need a few applications and most of these run on the servers in any case. Using a thin-desk can cut costs by 2/3rds in the best cases. 30 years ago network connectivity wasn’t as reliable and quick as today, nor were business users (0 tech knowledge people) using computers for their day-to-day jobs.
