Chromebook demand rising fast
Channelnomics quotes a report from ABI Research saying Chromebooks sales are climbing at a healthy rate.
It says 2.1 million Chromebooks sold in 2013, mainly in North America, then goes on to predict sales will top 10 million in the next five years. The report says Chromebooks could already account for as much as ten percent of notebook sales.
Interestingly the report says Chromebook's success surprised the companies making the devices.
