discreet in our world, the format Chromebook starts gently drill in addition to-Atlantic, in particular through the education market. And according to information from IDC, shipments (distribution networks and final consumers) of these machines have even surpassed those of the Mac in the first quarter. A first that is not quite a surprise.
So, last year, 8.9 million Chromebook have been passed in the schools, representing 53% of the terminals sold on the market. A trend confirmed by IDC, which indicates that the history of the Chromebook is written in the K-12, that is to say, the primary and secondary education in the United States.
But the hearing of these machines could still make progress. The formalization of a compatibility Chromebook with Android apps could well provide a decisive impetus to this platform. Samsung could take advantage of it with a new machine in preparation, playing this time the card of top of the range. Unveiled by mistake, it would be called Chromebook Pro.
This Chrombook is clearly a larger market with a great design, a thickness of a minimum of (13,9 mm to less than 1.1 kg) and a screen of 12.3 inches (2400 x 1600 pixels) which can be tilted so as to be closer to a tablet device, and therefore the hybrid format. A pen would be of the party. There would be a processor with six cores clocked at 2 GHz supported by 4 Gb of ram, and a battery life of around 10 hours.
The prices are expected to remain attractive : less than $ 500 (even if it is 200 dollars more than the average of these machines) but its availability may be limited. Has less than a true success is waiting for you. In fact, Chrome OS has the potential to come carve croupières to Windows on the segment of the PC low-cost.
