There seem to be three main arguments against expensive Chromebooks. My thoughts on why those arguments are misguided.
Last year’s Galaxy Chromebook is currently the same $699 as the new Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2. Which should you get? One key question will help you make the decision.
Your Chromebook may get a performance boost with a new JavaScript interpreter and compiler approach in the works. It’s called Sparkplug and it will also use fewer CPU cycles, making it hit the battery less.
New Chromebook owners eventually hear about both Developer Mode and the Dev Channel of Chrome OS, wondering if they’re the same thing. They’re not. Here’s an explanation and how to change Chrome OS channels on your Chromebook.
It’s always great to read a “What can you do on a Chromebook?” article. But these illustrate widespread misperceptions Google Chromebooks.
A perfect storm of high demand and a vastly improved Chrome OS experience should help Chromebook sales continue growing. Enough to keep outpacing MacBooks? Probably not but the race should be closer going forward.
Samsung and Best Buy have started pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2, starting at $549. Reserve one early and you can earn store credits for accessories and future purchases.

Up until now, I didn’t see Fuchsia having much future impact to Chromebooks. A new design document for something called Starnix would bring support for Android and Linux apps to Fuchsia in a translation method similar to Apple’s Rosetta 2.
After decoupling Google Photos and Google Drive, Chromebook users have been left in the lurch: How to view Photos in the Chrome OS Files app? Code suggests Google is working on this but you’ll need Photos for Android installed.
