Unification of Google services = same shyt APPLE does and apple geeks eat it up. They bought 400$ ipod touch and 330$ ipad mini in droves. People love google bruh. Dont underestimate that. Itunes+ mac book + ipad+ iphone= same mission google is after
motorola phones+ nexus devices+ chromeOS+ android+ unified experience+ youtube= Google vision to make money in the future
And that's great, let the Apple clowns pay a premium for perceived value.
That's Marketing 101.
But realistically speaking people who actually DO weigh pros and cons will not buy that Macbook.
- Do I need Final Cut Pro? No
- Do I need any of the other OS X only apps? No
- Am I willing to spending more for perceived value? No
Then they buy a regular Windows laptop with more often than not BETTER specs than the Macbook. And pocket the rest.
This is why Apple has not penetraed the business world yet. Because unless your business is graphics/design/ media you would be WASTING money.
And that's the same reason why they will not cop a $1299 Chromebook. No matter how unified the apps and the system is.
Apple makes money because of the graphics/design/media segment, loyalists, and uniformed consumers who don't know better. And damn near every analyst agrees that's not gonna last for much longer because Apple is not really innovating anymore. So why would you use that as a reason why Google will penetrate the market when that strategy is gonna be useless in the near future.
