In many segments, low-end included, the processor is a small part of the total BoM. Display, memory, clamshell, keyboard, assembly and shipping are non-negligible.

One of the fun things about ARM is that you get to play with asymmetric multicore machines that don't exist anywhere else in the desktop space. At least for now.

For me, the worst flaw of Chromebooks is the keyboard and the lack of proper Control, Super and Meta keys.

How so? They have a normal-enough ctrl and alt, and Chrome OS lets you remap the "search" key to control (<3).

They usually lack the Windows (Super) key, as well as a Fn that enables secondary functions for the F-keys (which do other things in Chromebooks).
