I'm really fairly confused: does Google, or any of the partner manufacturers, actually think these will sell at this price?

Or maybe this is a bid for the enterprise? I'd imagine they're the only group for whom a completely managed laptop is worth such a price premium.

I doubt enterprise will touch these. They have even harsher application dependencies than consumers. Even in the niches where it would work (ie. travelling salesmen), enterprises buy hardware in bulk so they'd probably just keep buying what they buy for everybody else.

That's what I would have thought.

Which leaves the question: what consumers do they think want these?
