You can't kill Chromebook with hardware. Apple needs software if they want more share of that market.

What software do they need to compete with chromebooks? It has a browser (it could have several browsers, if you want). I personally prefer all their productivity software to Google’s or Microsoft’s, and it’s not a close race, but you can use those on it too. Accessibility, I was shocked to find is kinda awful on Chromebooks when I had to try to configure it, considering their target markets are kids and the elderly, while Apple’s the gold standard at that.

That's exactly why they will kill Chromebook. Better software ecosystem.

Can you say more about what software? (I'm sure the Neo runs Chrome perfectly fine)
