Chromebooks outsold Macbooks in the US by a factor of five in 2013

Qz: Google’s Chromebook had a stellar year in the US. The stripped-down laptop that functions as little more than a web-browsing device vastly increased its share of the combined PC and tablet market to commercial buyers—that is schools, businesses, government and the like—from almost nothing to nearly 10%. Chromebooks accounted for 9.6% of PCs, laptops and tablets sold in the US between January and November this year, according to data from the NPD group, a market research firm, while the share of Apple laptops sold in this combined category declined from 2.6% to 1.8%.

They also probably out-returned Macbooks by a factor of 5 too. Every non-tech person I've talked to who owns a Chromebook complains that they can't install Office on them.

Disclaimer: I think Chromebooks are awesome.

You'd be surprised how little most people know about technology. I had a sales person at Best Buy ask what I was wearing, when I replied with Google Glass she didn't seem to know what it was.. Even someone who works around technology doesn't need to follow it.
