I don't think so. Chromebooks don't fit the market at which MS seems to be aiming the SP3.

Judging from the summary reports from the MS event, it would seem that MS is positioning the SP3 at the corporate market where IT makes the acquisition decisions and are faced workers who want a tablet but need to access the corporation's internal standard software and stay under IT's sercurity control. The ability to place an SP3 on a user's desk instead of a Windows notebook plus a separate tablet is is distinct advantage.
