Buying a new laptop is good. Getting a free laptop is even better. On select Virgin America flights or staying at the Ace Hotel in New York, you can test out a Google Chromebook. The deal when flying ends on September 30th and is valid from routes between Chicago and San Francisco, Dallas/Forth Worth, or Boston.
Don’t get to excited. You’re allowed to test out the Chromebook in the airport and on the flight. But, then you are required to return it at your destination airport gate. It is a great promotion since this Google laptop is known to be a cloud laptop, or one where you save or store everything on the Internet. Virgin America and other airlines are starting to introduce Wi-Fi network service on their flights so this cloud laptop would be the ideal combination. Plus, the Chromebook is light and has an all-day battery.
With the Chromebook estimated at less than $600, it is the ideal lightweight laptop to fly with. If you’re one to just email, go on the Internet, and just want a portable computer, the Chromebook is the one to go with. Well, if you don’t have the iPad already or are sick of the Apple support hype.
