Re:Google Chromebook Under $300 Defies PC Market With Growth by tomsaffell on Wednesday July 10, 2013 @03:00PM (#6022022)
Good question! I'm sufficiently interested in technology for its own sake that I keep abreast of developments in the PC industry, so I already knew about Chromebooks, and that they would be a good fit for her. My wife does not keep abreast of developments in the PC industry (she wont mind me saying that :), so as far as she was concerned, there was no such thing as a $250 PC that would easily usurp her MBA, so she didnt even consider it.

and a 5 minute browse on Amazon didn't occur to her?

Your wife is right, there is no such thing as a sub $250 pc that would usurp her MBP
