Fwiw I’m in continental Europe too and the local Media Markt has about 30% Chromebooks in the laptop department. The sales guy actively tried to push them last time I talked to one.

Only part of Denmark is on the continent, but anyway.

The categories are "Laptop computer", "Macbook" and "Chromebook" on Denmark's largest electronics retailer: https://www.elgiganten.dk/computer-kontor/computere

12 of the cheapest 15 laptops are Chromebooks, although that could also mean they aren't selling well and have been discounted.

I don't know what the situation is now but I do recall, circa 6 year's ago, a Dutch colleague being very impressed with my cheap laptop and asking where she would get one.

I remember searching various Dutch retailers to show her how readily available these things were and not being able to find one.

Also, at the same time, Dutch amazon only sold books?
