I was hearing about $100 laptops from the time, I joined college. Finally, I see it happen.

Every developing nation should award highest civilian honour to Sundar Pichai for making this happen. Thanks Google for making this happen.

You just reminded me about the OLPC program, or the 100$ laptop.

We are getting pretty close, aren't we.

also thank the component manufacturers for finally selling their chips super cheap!

Yeah, I think this is more because of Rockchip than because of Google. Rockchip manages to make a potent processor for very little, which is what is powering these. Google's volumes help as well but I would give more props to Rockchip

could you tell me which personal information of yours was sold by google?

For chromebook pixel to be successful among developers atleast, following needs to be done

1. Provide a good terminal like iTerm 2. Google cloud should provide a free standard instance always powered and run chrome in headless mode with remote desktop enabled via chrome remote desktop app. 3. Provide a ebs worth 100GB at least on the cloud.

Standard instance costs 0.045 per hour i.e, 345$ per year.
