Agreed, Chromebooks can't Windows EXE programs and for some users (but not everyone) that would be a very significant disadvantage. However, the same restriction applies to tablets (except the Surface Pro) and with Apple computers and Linux emulators are required.
As has already been said in this thread, potential purchasers of Chromebooks need to understand exactly what these devices can do and what they can't do, and then decide if they are suitable for their requirements or not.




I reckon hotels should rent them out to guests.
