Chromebooks Grab 21% of Notebook Sales

It’s looking like a great holiday season for the underdog Chromebook. Laptops running Google’s Chrome OS grabbed 21 percent of commercial notebook sales through November, according to research group NPD. Chromebooks jump from the “negligible share” of the market it held last year represented the largest share increase across product segments in the NPD report.

Windows notebooks, however, showed no growth, the report said. (Windows tablet sales tripled, though, and Android tablets jumped 160 percent.)

Amazon, too, named Chromebooks among its best-sellers this holiday season.
