| no one uses Chromebooks except Google employees

There were ~30M Chromebooks sold in 2020[1]. I think many of those were sold to non-googlers.

Shipments doesn't mean being sold.

Some of those landed here in German stores, where they usually get reduced every couple of weeks until finally someone buys them.

In the current situation I wouldn't be too surprised if prices for these Chromebooks went up tenfold with queues forming at the stores from midnight every night - everyone in the queue working for some auto maker desperate to get their hands on some (ANY!) electronics parts ;-)
