Google Chromebooks

Picture
No annoying updates. Nothing complicated to learn. Boots in seconds. Comes with your favorite Google apps. The Chromebook makes a great additional computer for getting things done, for sharing around the home, for everyone. An ultraportable, sleek laptop for everyday adventures. It weighs 1kg and has over 6.5 hours of battery life, so you can bring it anywhere and use it everywhere. 

Your favorite Google products are built-in like Search, Gmail YouTube, and Hangouts so you can work, play, and do whatever you want, right out of the box. It updates itself automatically and comes with virus protection. No extra software (or worrying) required.
