Chromebooks coming to retail stores

.
Chromebooks have never really been sold in the retail shops as Google had no New Zealand support apart from the Education Area. This has just changed and all major retail stores are about to stock them. Chromebooks are manufactured by Samsung, Toshiba, Acer, HP, Lenovo and Dell. These Laptops are designed for the Internet user who wants complete security without using additional protection. Features are being added every six weeks with more emphasis on off-line applications. They are cheap as the Linux Operating system is very efficient by not requiring layers of virus protection. These devices are more like a Tablet with a keyboard than a traditional Laptop. They have been popular in the USA business and education sector taking 40 percent of Commercial Laptop sales last month. A Chromebox is the equivalent Desktop version.
