Chromebooks now available to enterprise and education customers with a pay-once option

Google made a gigantic splash when it revealed plans to give Chromebooks to enterprise and education customers under a subscription model . What’s not clear is how much of a touch it actually made in those markets. While the notion of paying a monthly fee for 3 years, as opposed to buying a machine up front seems like a game changer, some people like the comfort of the familiar. In this case Google is now offering those self same customers the choice to buy a Chromebook (with a year of support included) in a single lump sum — $449 for the WiFi model or $519 for the 3G to educational customers, while business are taking a look at $559 and $639 respectively. After that first year is thru, customers have the opportunity to join a monthly support contract, at $5 a month for education and $13 a month for enterprise.
