Teachers in the US (but in Europe) greatly choose and recommend to their students Chromebooks instead of their MacBooks Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), as well as Android tablets, according to a new survey.
According to a survey by companyς NPD Group, Google's low-cost Chromebooks have outpaced Apple's MacBook sales thanks to the increase in education.
"Governments or IT departments are not running to buy these products - which is not impressive," said Tim Bajarin, president of Creative Strategies.
Apple's MacBook and iPad sales declined this year, as competition from Android and Google Chrome has grown considerably, while Chromebooks and Android tablets are the biggest commercial growth they have ever had after selling 1.760.000 units in compared with just 400.000 units 2012.
But the reason is not only that:
“Some organizations are looking for Appliances low cost that have a strong relationship with services of Google, such as Google Docs and Drive,” he said in Mashable ο Stephen baker, Vice President for Industry Analyst at NPD. "Along with the form and price factor, Chromebooks are the most exciting choice for students and businesses as they are complete laptops."
The tablets with Windows Microsoft's had an increase in sales and this of course affected Apple's sales.
Chromebooks accounted for 9,6% of it market laptops and tablets from January to November 2013, compared to just 0,2% in the same period in 2012.
