Chromebook Making Gains
-
I was going to do something similar for wallboards around the office displaying dashboards and KPIs for our sales and production staff via the intranet. But I'm now planning on using Chromecasts instead. Assuming Chromecast will work with my new Ubiquiti APs that is! I know not all wireless APs are supported. Plan C is Rasberry Pi.

benefit of doing it this way is just 1 device using bandwidth. we wanted to display the same thing on 4 displays throughout the store, so this was best for us.

I tend to agree with CB - I think Chromebooks are a fad, but I've been wrong before mostly blinded by my own lack of desire to use. I have a huge inherent distrust of the internet and those snooping around it (both governments and hackers), as such I the idea of a completely online life is just undesirable to me.
Unfortunately for me, I'm in the minority. Most people around me want to be proles, as long as they have their 22's and their playstation and their McDonald's, they don't care about the rest.

I think for the majority of people today, at least at home, just surf the web. Not many applications being installed for average users. Chromebooks are ideal for them. Very low cost, low power consumption, very easy to use and no extra worries about antivirus, updates, getting ripped off by Geek Squad, etc.
