As Google continues to update both ChromeOS and its own cloud services, Chromebooks are starting to look less like a glorified web browsing machine and more like a potential replacement for Windows. Sales are still modest and Chromebooks only account for a small portion of the PC market, but sales are starting to increase rapidly.
