Google said Chromebooks will begin at $349, with higher prices depending on features such as cellular Internet access. Google also said the laptops will boot up within eight seconds and will not require any virus protection.
Chromebooks will also be made available to businesses and education customers for a monthly fee, which will include replacements and upgrades over time. Businesses will be charged $28 per user monthly while educational customers will pay $20 per user per month.
Such users will have to sign up for three-year contracts. 3G models will include 100 megabytes of wireless data from Verizon Wireless each month. Users will have to pay additional fees for more data; 1 gigabyte of additional data will cost $20 per month.
I really like this move for the easy scalability of startups, not to mention how quickly you can get your operations up and running with the great sync and integration Google apps provides. Chromebooks will be exactly what you need to run your operations and cost-effectively "plugin" your new employees, giving them just what they need to get their work done vs. too much.
