MBA logic: these laptops will be more expensive than most non-pixel chromebooks, which means there may be more of a profit per unit. I don't know why they have to dedcide between chrome and windows. They just make the processors and let OEM's put them in whatever systems they want.

Also, key quote from article:
PC makers are considering the new Carrizo chips for Windows laptops, not for Chromebooks, said Adam Kozak, marketing manager at AMD.So, its OEM's and not AMD specifically? Maybe. Other parts talk about all the windows 10 specific stuff they did with the chips. So who knows. In any case, I prefer to run linux on real laptops with more on board storage space than chromebooks. So maybe this is a win for me or at least the windows tax status quo? Not sure. I guess I'll have to wait to see what the secure boot settings are.
