In the laptop market the chromebooks have been the fastest growing segment according to market research by NDP. This is good news for us, because it means more manufacturers should be jumping on the bandwagon. With more models becoming available, you should expect to get chromebooks with better specs at (even) lower prices.
Remember that the Samsung Chromebook is still the number 1 selling laptop on Amazon. It has been there since it first started to sell at the end of 2012.
