Why are Chromebooks such a US phenomenon... Here in Australia retail availability is pretty dire. I wonder if this development might see that start to change?



I don't think they are as successful in the state as you might think


Errr, yes they are. From the article: In Q1 of this year, Chromebooks topped Macs in overall shipments to become the #2 most popular PC operating system in the US.


Shipments to stores? What about overall sales?


Here in Africa, they're are few given at tech events or bought by unknowingly parents to their kids.

I got one which helped me to start my first job. Important thing is it's auto update.


But I agree, they are hard to get here...


You can get them on Kogan.com.au


Only the mediocre ones it seems.
