Google To Offer Chrome OS Notebooks For $20/month

Posted by samzenpus on from the would-you-like-some-google-with-your-google? dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Hot on the heels of the $25 ARM computer, Google is to offer a $20 per month package for students, which includes a Chrome OS laptop (like the Cr-48) and an online component, which will likely include a storage bump for a user's Google Docs, Gmail, Picasa Web, and Google Music files. This would serve two purposes for Google: first, Google will be able to expand its existing user base for Chrome OS. For half the price of a typical cell phone contract, students will be able to pick up a netbook with 3G connectivity. Second, Google will be able to test the package offering publicly prior to eventually adding an enterprise version for Google Apps users."

    Can't we have a discussion about [dictator] without [deaths] being raised?

    We can, but expect any positive points about [dictator] to be put in the context of [deaths].
