Chrome Show: Why Dell’s Chromebook success is a bad thing
When does success equal disappointment? Just ask anyone who is looking to buy a Dell Chromebook 11, one of my favorite recent devices. That person won’t be able to get their Chromebook.
Why? Dell can’t keep up with commercial orders on the education side, citing rising demand. Perhaps that’s another reason why Microsoft executives publicly acknowledged the Chromebook threat this week. Tune in to our podcast to hear more about that as well as some new Chromecast tricks and more Chrome OS hardware available for pre-ordering in case you can’t get that Dell you wanted.
