Flip it around: why pay the same for a lot less capability?

Windows has user familiarity, software up the wazoo, and its own cloud computing solution. Considering Azure is second only to AWS (if at all) and well ahead of Google and IBM in an where Apple barely registers.

Actually, when looking at sale prices, Chromebooks cost less. Staples was selling a nice one like my brother bought for $129 this weekend.

(I can't find it on Staples ... but I think this is the same one at Best Buy) ...
