    This is very true. ChromeOS will likely win out in the long term. But in the short term, it’s good for Google to have competition to goad them into improving and innovating.

    At the same time though, I’m not sure whether Lenovo’s solution targets the same audience.

    “The Esper solution is an android based software, it is specifically formulated for device management on an android OS running on an x86 platforms. This creates a unique opportunity for Lenovo to address this market. Specific market segments we are targeting include retail and hospitality, as well as the digital signage appliances for these industries. These segments include an abundance of Android based deployments that require a level of customization.”

    I don’t think ChromeOS allows really any customization of its UI, does it? I haven’t used it in any significant capacity in a decade… (I wrote the original Chromebook Ninja call center scripts back when it was literally just a web browser on a laptop lol.)

      Absolutely competition is a great thing.

      And you’re right, ChromeOS is pretty uncustomizable. I think they might have dark mode now.
