Chromebooks

This report analyzes in detail the Chromebook market, past, present, and future. In addition, this report will provide a detailed comparison between different OSes, including Chrome, Windows, Android, and Apple OS. It is important to analyze the Chromebook market to understand the new trajectory of the portable device market. Users are seeking devices that are more portable, connected, and cloud-based, due the on-the-go nature of consumers and many working professionals. Despite a few setbacks in 2014, the global recovery continues and many countries are still struggling to rejuvenate their economy. Chromebooks entered the market at time when the financial crisis of 2008 caused consumer-shopping habits to become frugal in nature. As a result, the market has seen an explosion of low-end devices in the mobile device world and Chromebooks are just another rendition. Are Chromebooks functional enough to thrive in the market or are they just a temporary fad shortly to be replaced by new technology?
