People in Europe looking to purchase a Chromebook will be without one major manufacturer's devices to choose from. Samsung is pulling out of the the laptop business in Europe and Chromebooks are included in the company's definition of a laptop. They did clarify that this is strictly for Europe and other markets are not going to be affected.
