A $1000 Netbook? LOKOOLOLOLOOLOOLOLOLOLOLOOOLLLLL!!!
These dreamers at Google think they can charge Apple level pricing
That's like saying the iPad Pro is a $1000 netbook (once you add apple's keyboard cover) but we know that's not the case. This device is going right after the 12.9" iPad Pro. From a feature / price perspective, it's right where it should be. I don't care for ChromeOS but I do like the 2-in-1 form factor Google has designed here, even better than MS' Surface Book, in my opinion. This is the type of form factor I'd like to see the iPad Pro evolve into => a 2-in-1 iOS device
No it's not the iPad hat is the target, at least not directly. The MS Surface and other hybrid laptops are its target, particularly schools. I think a HP x360 pro is a much superior device to this. An iPad Pro is a different device, as it doesn't have a huge keyboard attached..agree that there is a lot of low hanging ways Apple could do to make the iPad/iOS combination a true laptop replacement though, and it is starting to get to the power levels needed..
I would rather have the Surface Pro (even with old USB typeA). The SP is much lighter than this 2.45 lb chromebook. As a tablet it's not anything I would want to hold and its no where near the iPadPro. If you like the 2-1 form factor look into the Porsche design laptop.
I don't know why anyone would want to use a shitty Surface Pro. These have got to be the biggest overpriced pieces of shit ever made in quite some time. For a similar price you can get a Mac that runs circles around it...
People who buy Surface Pro devices do so because they want a tablet that can run desktop-class apps, not a tablet that runs mobile apps. Not that there's anything wrong with the latter.
Yep and some people need it for work and the Surface Pro with keyboard is under to pounds.

The 12.9" iPad Pro with the keyboard comes in at about 2.3 lbs-ish, so it's not appreciably lighter.

I personally doubt it will happen but hey who knows.
