Chromebooks doing well
 

The much-battered, assaulted and sprinkled with vinegar Wintel Alliance seems unable to defeat the rise of Chrome.

According to retailer Amazon.com and industry analysts, Google's Chromebooks did rather well last year.

The cut -down laptops powered by Google's browser-based Chrome OS have been doing better than expected and Amazon.com has named a pair of Chromebooks, one from Samsung, the other from Acer, as two of the three best-selling notebooks during the US holiday season. The Asus' Transformer Book, a Windows 8.1 "2-in-1" device that transforms from a 10.1-in. tablet to a keyboard-equipped laptop came in third.

According to Computer World, Chromebooks' holiday success at Amazon was duplicated elsewhere.
