Chromebooks run fast on a simple quad core Celeron, with 4-GB of RAM. I don't understand why a Core i7 is needed, unless Joogle is planing on seriously taking on Windows as a corporate OS.
A few years ago, my dads company bought a few thousand Surface Pro 4s for training, then recently when the company was restructured the new management decided they didn't like the surfaces. So they gave them away to the higher up employees, then purchased a few thousand ultrabooks.
I knew enterprise has always been big money, but until I somehow came to posses 2 Surface Pro 4s for free I didn't see how big it actually was. Google wants some of that bureaucratic cash, and i7s look good on the box.
A chrome book is just a thin client.
Google probably has gotten their “AD” style management better so this is a possibility.
Most users don’t need the power of an I7 for what they do.
