Remember when we said that Google’s widespread Chromebook family had finally surpassed the sales tally of Apple’s MacBook family? Well, turns out that the sales tally is going to get even better, according to the latest estimates.
Reports Suggest That Chromebook Numbers Are Going To Increase In The Foreseeable Future, Thanks To The Latest Compatibility Update
Cumulatively, Chromebooks garnered a sale tally of nearly 2 million for the first quarter of this year. Chromebooks have become extremely popular in US schools, and now that Android apps will be compatible with these affordable machines, it appears that this number is expected to increase in the next quarter.
Initially, Chromebooks were targeted to those who required more portability and less processing firepower, and that market comprised up of students. Now, Chromebooks are getting ever more powerful thanks to better hardware and they feature attractive pricing according to the components placed inside them.
Additionally, Digitimes reports that these Chromebook are expected to reach even further; two million units in the second quarter of 2016 are expected to be recorded, along with an additional three million units a quarter in the second half of the year.
