I don't think there's anything too Machiavellian going on. The rumours are that the next generation ARM Chromebooks from Samsung are going to be able to address more memory.

That sounds correct about the series 5.

On the other hand I stand pat on my Machiavellian theme. The intention is to reduce the hardware life cycle and make everything work off of licensed and payment plans for the cloud.

SAAS! "software as a service" and "storage as a service"
