Indeed. One of the big selling points of Macs was that they weren't running Microsoft Virus Studio, and didn't turn into a filthy pit of malware when handed to someone without a degree in computer security.
Chromebooks are probably more secure than Macs.
Do they all still have abysmal screen resolutions? All the ones I keep seeing have resolutions from the 1990s.
The one I got my mother has 1920x1280. I set that as a minimum requirement, because the cheap Windows junker I bought her four years ago had that resolution.
That's good to hear - actually a better resolution than my 2012 MacBook (should have got the higher res one but with DVD drive).
What make/model is that Chromebook, out of interest?
Yeah, no kidding. I have a $160 Toshiba Chromebook that is great for most tasks.
Apple's risk in dropping the Premiere/FCP crowd is that the mass audience they are seeking will discover how good Chromebooks are, and the price tradeoff, and use them with Google cloud services for pretty much everything.
