Google Launches Chrome Laptop Targeted at Students
Package will test the waters for a business offering
On Thursday, Google will announce the sale of its Chrome laptop in a $20 per month deal targeted at students, according to Forbes. The package will include both hardware and software services, said a Google exec. The product is likely a precursor to a more business-oriented offering: “Small and medium-sized businesses are banging on our doors to get something like this,” the exec said.
Google Apps, which is similar to Microsoft Office and offers online word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation software, is sold to businesses for $50 a year, and Forbes says that an inexpensive Chrome laptop could easily be added to the deal, just like discounted cell phones are sold with wireless plans.
