We’ve worked with our partners to make Chromebooks that are safe, easy
to use, easy to share and affordable for everyone. The Samsung
Chromebook ($349) and the Acer Chromebook ($299) are now available from
select JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman stores and the HP Chromebook is on its
way.

Now, the 12-year wait begins for the next Lions Test in Australia...
