9.6% of PCs, Laptops and Tablets Sold In The US Are Chromebooks

Well here is an interesting statistic that (kind of) proves that price is still king in many, many ways for most people - Chromebooks accounted for almost 10 perent of all the PCs, laptops and tablets sold in the US this last year (Source). (But this number is for commercial buyers only)

This is actually a revolution that must have been brought about by netbooks - they skipped a beat and tablets and now Chromebooks stole the thunder.
