It's probably more accurate to say that Google hopes to. I don't know that I've ever seen an analysis that directly connects the dots between Chromebooks and profit growth at Google.
Chromebooks are using a Linux type OS with the Chrome web browser as the GUI. They are sold at $300 or $200 because there is no $100 to $200 Windows Tax by Microsoft on them. Google makes money with Adsense and collecting user data like any other Dotcom might do. Google also has Chromebooks that can run Android apps from the Google Play store as well as ebooks, music, videos, etc from it.
Google has a different way to make money off Chromebooks that Apple does with Macbooks. Apple claims not to collect data and sell it to make money, which is why Apple products cost more than normal PC or Chromebook products.
I am copying this from someone else who replied to you, and you didn't say anything.

And a giant backdoor with purposefully vague language in their privacy policy to let them sell data.

I really wish you'd read articles and remember what others wrote to you in the comments. The only reason why I have trouble with that is I have a mental illness that put me on disability. I try to learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others.
If you forgot because you have some sort of mental illness, I understand, if not and you have a perfect memory, you might just be trying to troll or put up a test for others like college professors do.

I suppose that English is not your first language, because what you have quoted has nothing to do with your claim
And now you put PRISM? Do you know what the heck is PRISM?
> f you forgot because you have some sort of mental illness, I understand, if not and you have a perfect memory, you might just be trying to troll or put up a test for others like college professors do.
so, not only you don't know what you talk about, you insult people when you're wrong and has shown to you?
