Google starts renting a Chromebook for rent

The search giant in an initiative designed to increase the popularity of its cloud operating system, announced the launch of a new program, according to which organizations in the US can rent a laptop with Chrome OS for $ 30 a month.

The benefits of such an application are described as follows - if you are the head of a certain organization that deals with seasonal or temporary employment of employees who need to be provided with computers, then there is no longer a need to buy a laptop as such. As an example, a certain political campaign is given, during which every four or five years the candidate’s headquarters is forced to hire people or just volunteers and at the same time provide them with full Internet access or basic work with documents.

In this case, of course, you can buy laptops in the usual way, or you can use the new program from Google and rent chromebooks for $ 30 a month. Thus, when the election campaign ends, you will not have to think about what to do with the purchased laptops further or about the place of their storage until the next similar occasion, if this happens in the future.

For long-term users of the program, Google thought about discounts. If in the first year the rent of a “chromabuk” will cost $ 30, then in the second - $ 25, and in the third - already $ 20 a month, which should, according to the plan, increase the attractiveness of the offer in the eyes of potential users.

As a bonus, the technical appeal of such a solution is also described - a full three-year warranty is provided for the “chromebook”, for coordinators or managers - a command console for remote control of devices, so that the laptop is used only for its intended purpose and technical support is provided under the 24/7 scheme.

The Chromebook itself consists of the following - Silver Intel Celeron 1.3 GHz processor (or Intel Atom N570 in the Samsung Series 5 series), 4 GB of RAM, 16 GB SSD, Wi-Fi + 3G at about $ 500-600.
