It would be twice as much if people could stop arguing about who counts and who doesn't

Interesting read. I was genuinely surprised to read that ChromeOS has 4%+ desktop market share. It’s not popular at all where I am from. I’ve never ever seen one in person.
A lot of schools use Chromebooks for their students. They're cheap laptops that are easier to administer than Windows.
And safer
I used to sell laptops. Most of my customers were elderly people who only needed to watch Netflix, do their banking, check emails, etc. Chromebooks flew off the shelves.
It was the College-bound kids who insisted on a proper laptop.
Probably for schools with chromebooks. I've never seen one in the wild either.
