Speaking of Chromebooks, in my country the country where I live, they did not succeed, because of uncompetitively low hardware specs offered for inadequately high price. Majority of consumers rather bought regular laptops with Windows 10 on board. Besides, there are no known advantages of Chromebooks over Windows 10 systems, valid to casual users, apart from maybe the Android apps support, which has landed fairly lately, too late to make for an argument, I think.
My guess is that you can have a laptop already for as much as 120 GBP, some very low spec, but a new one, with producer guarantee. I think a lot of people would rather go for the thrill of consumerism, than overinvest in something they already would likely get rid of, even for the aesthetic reasons, times often.
Besides, if they are not very tech savvy, nerdy sounding solutions are not really the way to go, are they?
