As a fan of my Chromebook Plus ... I'm kinda lost on what more you do at that price / performance other than being able to multitask a few more apps and tabs.

It's not like there is much in the way of high performance demanding applications on ChromeOS.

Either these apps are already predicted to arrive or google will make sure they do. I can't see why Google would want people to do computing on their own machines though.

This looks a lot like an attempt to grab some would be MacBook buyers that are unhappy with the latest models.

This argument could have been made when they released the 2013 Chromebook Pixel for $1,300, yet here we are.
