True enough, I am thinking more a long the lines I would think if these were two comparable Acer models with the screen size being the main difference.
Still, aside from the Pixel, which is clearly a "concept machine" of sorts, I think when the price of a Chromebook gets close to the price of a similar Windows machine, then it's a harder sell.

True enough in my family's case. True at $199, anyway.
And since we had to replace our printer recently, and ended up with one with Google Cloud Print built in, the printing issue is covered too.
