Chromebooks Might Become Even Cheaper

Consumer is the winner.

Even though Chromebooks prices aren’t that big of a deal anyway (unless you are buying Chromebook Pixel), it looks like you might be able to get one even cheaper in the future.

Recently, MediaTek made some code contributions to the Chromium OS and tested an entry level ARM Cortex A7 processor, which is a big step down compared to the already inexpensive, Samsung Cortex A14/A7 SoC.

Therefore, this leads to speculation that if the performance hit isn’t that big, you could see Chromebooks costing around $150-170 (just a guess) later this year.
