The same people who wants a $1000 Chromebook, aka nobody.

Exactly!!

Nobody wants >$500 Chrome/Android/Win-on-Arm ANYTHING!!!

Well (opps!!) excepting cell phones and tablets that is... LOL!!

IMHO: the limited use case "thin clients" need to be < $400USD (if not < $300USD).

I hope they'll finally take some linux distro with KDE, integrate their services there along with Proton/Wine layer and release it in a premium hardware.. They need to create a laptop that their own employees are going to use and not that piece of something for nobody.. With Windows 11 transitioning into unusable slow bloated garbage, there is a real opportunity for them to take some market share.

Why would anyone buy a high-end notebook that runs off Android? We've seen the higher-end Chromebooks hit the market in completely indifference from buyers because Chromebooks are supposed to be cheap and low-end, that's how they became a thing in schools and homes.

The high-end segments are filled with options, they should focus on the lower-end, cheap, education-centric use cases instead of trying to sell dead-end notebooks at a high price.
