"Google's Chromebook was dismissed as a bare-bones laptop with limited appeal when it debuted two years ago. Now it's defying skeptics and gaining share as the rest of the personal-computer market shrinks. Chromebooks have in just the past eight months snagged 20 percent to 25 percent of the U.S. market for laptops that cost less than $300, according to NPD Group Inc. The devices, which have a full keyboard and get regular software updates from Google, are the fastest-growing part of the PC industry based on price, NPD said."

You have always been able to buy a macbook if you want a highend laptop and to avoid windows...
Yes, but MacBooks were not really designed to run Linux. So sometimes you had problems with WiFi, Power management, Thunderbolt, etc. Besides, there is no MacBook that has a touchscreen yet.
