This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend our time talking through two confusing segments of the current Chromebook market: tablets and high-end Chromebooks.  Both of these categories have great current and upcoming options, but both are likely confusing for consumers on the outside looking in.  For tablets, the issue is the lack of options with only one notable upcoming device worth getting hyped about.  For high-end Chromebooks, the problem comes down to the fact that great Chromebooks are coming down in price and justifying the extra expense is simply getting tough to do these days.
