Comment on U.S. Commercial Computing Device Sales Set to End 2013 with Double-Digit Growth

Comments

...in "commercial markets". As far as I can tell, that does not include consumer and would make the headline extremely misleading.

So a bunch of companies decided to buy ChromeBooks, presumably without asking their employees.

I have no idea if 21% is correct, but on Amazon Chromebooks are 4 of the 5 top selling laptops. Something is going on.

Yes, the title is misleading. But it's already been picked up by dozens of news sites, hit the front page of reddit etc., so it's probably hopeless to debunk at this point.

It's a shame because the numbers do actually show a very large increase in ChromeBook sales, but the tech press has focused on numbers that exaggerate and distort that.
