They aren't gunning for Chromebook deployments...these are currently in business laptop models and AMD may have already beaten them in all fronts on some of these per dollar other than ultralight and video playback duration. Lenovo has a A model that can do 16 hours and light gaming. more importantly it runs x86 apps full speed.

I agree these likely will take over the sub $1000 market if given the chance but they are shooting at $1500-2000

Interesting. Seems like a huge missed opportunity there, as those outsell everything else by quite a margin.

Perhaps they'll expand into both ends like they do phones, eg the 4xx on the low end and 8xx on the high end.

Presumably the margins on Chromebook are terrible compared to those of mid to high end laptops. I don't blame them for wanting to start with the higher margin market and eventually work down.
