[QUOTE="Wookiee, post: 69674990, member: 335029"] Just as I suspected, they ended up comparing a heap of features Chrome OS is not designed, and never will be, for (e.g. games and Photoshop). I mean, it's not exactly a fair comparison using apps and games as a point when it's designed to be a lightweight word processor and web browser. "Despite the new OS, Windows-device prices remain the same — you'll find a number of Windows-powered laptops that cost less than $200 each, and many under $400 offer touch displays." Another point they failed to mention is a Windows device at that price point will probably run terribly out of the box; and if it doesn't, it likely will be within a few months (although in all fairness this is only coming from experience with 7/8 and not 10). Chrome OS will tend to run consistently well until the hardware fails (unless it gets overloaded with dodgy extensions). [/QUOTE]
