Google To Sell Chrome Laptops To Students For $US20 Per Month?

Good news if you are a student who wants a Chrome OS laptop and missed out on the free Cr-48. Google may announce a purchase plan that lets you buy a Chrome OS laptop for $US20 per month.

This small fee includes both the hardware and online services needed for Chrome OS. Later this year, Google may launch a similar plan for small and medium-sized businesses, too – something to watch out for.

This all lines up with what we’d heard previously about the Cr-48 business model, but having as solid a pub as Forbes back up the news on the eve of the I/O day two keynote seems to make this a pretty sure thing. [Forbes]
