Google announces new branding for more powerful Chromebooks

Google has announced Chromebook Plus, branding that will be used to label ChromeOS-powered laptops with more capable hardware than entry-level systems.

Chromebooks are primarily aimed at students or workers who require cost-effective web-centric machines that only need to run the most popular productivity apps.

If you a business, and run everything off of a server, they make sense. But have yet to see a business use them that way, regardless of it making sense to use them. They just buy normal computers - often wondered why.
