Analysts had expressed doubts regarding the recently unveiled device.
Despite criticism from analysts regarding its potential performance in the market, Google's newly announced Samsung-developed Chromebook has been sitting atop the Amazon best seller list for several days.
The $249 device achieved the position by knocking off the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.0 into second place, while the Samsung Series 3 Windows notebook made its debut in third. Google's Series 3 Chromebook boasts a Samsung Exynos 5 dual-core processor, 16GB of internal storage, 2GB RAM, six hours-plus battery life and an 11.6-inch display that features a resolution of 1366 x 768.
"I don't see any benefit of getting a Chromebook," Jack Gold, an analyst at J. Gold Associates, stated. "It's "basically a netbook with a Web-based OS on it. Why not just buy an Android device and actually be able to use plenty of apps?" The laptop is "basically a netbook with a Web-based OS on it. Why not just buy an Android device and actually be able to use plenty of apps?" For "another $100 or so, you can get a full laptop running Windows. That's a much better deal," he added.
Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi, meanwhile, also chimed in with her thoughts: "Consumers do not want to choose between apps and Internet; they want both. The $249 is certainly an interesting price point, but consumers have been burned with netbooks and will be cautious and look beyond the price tag."
if you cant tell the difference between the two please don't touch computers. The fact it has a GIANT SAMSUNG LOGO on it should be a indication its not a Apple.
I am starting to wonder if the average apple consumer can read.... Since they seem to have issues with reading Logo's
well yah isnt that what Apple did with "rectangular glass screens" and "touch on a mobile device"
The article mentions Amazon's top seller lists. Good luck trying to actually SEE these people... unless you become a professional stalker. I do not see any reason why Amazon would falsify this data, as it is probably automatically compiled from their sales numbers.
So, what was your point again?
