           The first time I heard of the chrome book I was filled with excitement. I have always been a supporter of this type of a product and if not for my financial situation (just being honest) I will definitely have been creating a similar product. I was happy that Google were taking a brave step with the Chromebook which would definitely yield lots of rewards but the price of $550 just made my heart sink. To think of moving out of your comfort zone and moving into the cloud and yet costing you more was just ridiculous. For me it just seemed to move against the whole concept of moving into the cloud and would help reduce costs or at least that was what I was made to believe by all these tech companies reducing prices to get people on the cloud.

       Google’s new Chromebook brings us closer to seeing that happen because it comes in at $249, which I find a huge improvement its previous $550 plus models.

Google’s SVP of Chrome and Apps, Sundar Pichai, announced this new Chromebook for everyone on Google’s official Blog.
