Chromebooks now available for sale
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
Last month we
unveiled
the first Chromebooks from our partners, Samsung and Acer. Chromebooks were built and optimized for the web to give you a faster, simpler and more secure experience without the headaches of traditional computers. In the U.S., you can now order a Chromebook from
Amazon
and
BestBuy.com
. In other launch countries, visit
google.com/chromebook
to find a local retailer.
If you’re interested in purchasing Chromebooks for a school or business, please
contact our sales team

Living on the web with the Chrome Web Store (and the Cr-48!)
Wednesday, January 26, 2011
Since we opened the
Chrome Web Store
last month, I’ve made it a daily habit to check out the store for new applications. Each time, I’ve discovered new things I can do on the web that work just as well as and often better than software I had to install and maintain on my computer -- such as
playing games
,
listening to music
, or
getting work done
. Living on the web is much easier than you might think!
If you already live on the web and are itching to get your hands on a Chrome notebook, we’ve teamed up with a few Web Store apps for a chance to
test-pilot
the Cr-48. Check out blogposts from
MOG
,
Box
,
LucidChart
, and
Zoho
for more details. Then go ahead and
rock out
with 10 million songs,
manage your files
in the cloud,
perfect your diagram drawing skills
, or
move your office
onto the web. While you’re at it, you might also discover a new favorite app among the more than 2,000 apps in the
Chrome Web Store
.
Have fun!

Guest post from the Demo Lab: Help us test the Cr-48
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
Here at the Demo Lab we have only one mission: to protect your data no matter what happens to your computer. To serve this mission we have been evaluating our Cr-48 prototype notebooks in challenging, some might say extreme, conditions. We’ve been in the lab testing notebooks exhaustively (I'm talking 24 hours a day here). But, to try out as many notebooks as possible, we’re opening up the lab to the public today.
Are you ready to help take the Cr-48 through its paces? If you are up to this challenge, take these mean machines through explosions, carbicide, and destruction by ravenous zombies at
google.com/demolab
. While you're at it, you can submit an application to the Chrome notebook Pilot program.
That's all from here. Good luck, remember to wear your safety goggles at all times, and see you in the lab.
