Ah yes, the Volvo S90 and VW Passat, definitely SUVs. Even Google’s screenshots show 40% garbage.

These 2023 stats have Chromebook sales at only ~25M units globally, so this is probably the second scenarion, people decommissioning Windows computers and using the phone and/or tablet instead. https://www.canalys.com/newsroom/global-tablet-market-share-Q2-2023
