This isn't made to sell really well. Two of the biggest complaints with chrome os is that the hardware is cheap and there are not any powerful apps. This is a nexus device for chrome os. They want developers to make more powerful apps. They even said that they do not expect this to sell well and they don't care if it does not. They're not trying to make a big profit off of this.
