Will the Google Chrome computer succeed?

Google is trying hard to get people to use their Chromebook. Most people don't and they don't because of the simple reason that Chromebooks are only useful when using the internet and Google's services.

Most people want a computer they can use to do everything. They don't want a computer that only works when it's connected to the internet. Think about all the stuff you do on your computer like video edition, image edition, sound edition, encoding, file backups and most of all software. That's impossible with the Chromebook unless there's a web service for that task.

I don't think that people will upgrade ever to the Chromebook. Google has to release a version that can work while there is no internet, a version where people have more freedom and don't have to be connected to Google all the time.

Even if the prices continue to go down, it's more cost effective to buy a cheap laptop.
