           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.

I must say I like the direction in which Google is going with the Chromebook                                                                                         

My Productivity Tools

Obviously this is going to be the first thing on my list of productivity tools the laptop from which I am writing at the moment.

You might ask why I would talk about this in the first place but the truth is that most people do not realize something about getting a laptop or a portable computer it is really an essential some would say why not get yourself a desktop. Laptops are a little too much of a luxury. I will tell you stop right there and go get one. You might be thinking of getting a laptop with the latest and newest of specifications or even a Mac. Well to me that is not really important. There are laptops that you could get for less than 300 dollars with specification good enough to meet your computing needs. Most software that you need for productivity can easily run on a laptop with a speed of 1.6 ghz and with a memory of 1ghz minimum should be 512 mb of memory. With the hard disk 60gig and above would do. A laptop with these kind of specifications wouldn’t be expensive and it is worth the effort. If you are still on a desktop which I think is a great tool I still recommend that you get a yourself a laptop and get moving from then on. It is totally worth it. I have had one for the last 5 and half years and I have loved it ever since.

Well if you are not yet convinced I will leave it to you, there really is nothing wrong with getting something portable plus the tools I have use would work on any PC for those of you who use Mac most of them have versions that are compatible with the Mac.

By this time some would say why don’t you just go ahead and list the applications all of us have PC’s otherwise we wouldn’t be able to read the blog.

Lets take things one at time and we would get there. First things First, get your self a computer preferably a laptop and then we can move on from there.
