Revenue for Google How does Google make money from the Chromebook?

No one knows for sure, however I assume that they take a 10% cut and that is it. More so than that I believe that they are not making any profit on the chromebook because they are only providing the operating system, which you can download for free onto any computer. Google offers many products and they receive profit through advertisements on their search pages.

Google hates Microsoft and so they make everything free just to screw them. Chrome, Docs, Android, etc

They'll make money from advertisements. Like Android it is another way for Google to track everything you do and everywhere you go. More juicy data to use to sell advertising to more companies.

No, this the keyboard layout of the chromebook is different than this keyboard cover, several of the keys have different functions.

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the Chromebook. I used this with a Macbook Pro.

That is really a good question. I was asking myself the same question before I purchased my c710-2856. If you check out the specs. for both they look the same. That is easy to do on http://amazon.com. It could also have to do by who is selling the chromebook. My chromebook was purchased at Wal-Mart for $199.00. I have noticed a lot of the places that sell these units have jacked up their price, so they can drop it for black Friday. If you are not in a hurry to buy, wait until after the holidays and you will probably get a good deal because these outlets don't want excess inventory. There is a possibility that you could get a 4 gig unit for the same price you would pay before the holidays. That is really a good question.

It works like a jump drive, so if all your music is in mp3 format and if your chromebook works with jump drives should be good.

It should work if you have a USB slot like on a regular Laptop or home computer. I'm not sure the type of USB slots are on a Chromebook. Look close at the specifications for the Speaker and also on your Chromebook instructions. Good Luck!

Verizon by default provides the cellular service, as well as 100mb a month for two years for free. However, the Gobi 3G chip supports GSM networks, and the Chromebook has a SIM card slot, which means that AT&T;, T-Mobile, or other SIM carriers can be used on the chromebook as well.It does require a bit of setup to use a provider other than Verizon. Google has some good information here: http://support.google.com/chromeos/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer;=1059122

I cannot be absolutely sure about the Chromebook, but it should work. It worked all right with iPhone, iPad and Android. It's a Bluetooth device, it should work with any other Bluetooth device.

Chromebooks have Chrome OS on them. They will not come preinstalled with Windows or any other operating system.

but there are netbooks for under 200. and they do so much more. Chromebook at over 300 does seem odd.

Chromebooks do not support printing from local printers via the USB port. To print from your Chromebook, you can use the Google Cloud Print service to print. To connect your printer to Google's Cloud Print, visit Google's Connect your printer to Google Cloud Print page. Once you've added a printer, press Ctrl+P to print from your Chromebook. http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10397

I am not even sure what Chromebook is. I run it on my PC, it is pretty fool proof. My embroidery machine is a Brother SE400. Hope that helps!

I don't know about chromebook. Maybe you could take your chromebook to a retailer that sells PixieFlash (i.e. Best Buy, Walmart) with one of your cards and ask to try it while your at the store.

It comes with a driver for linux. Chrome-books are linux based but may not allow installation of drivers. You need to find someone that owns one and has tried it.

The Chromebook is mainly for quick Internet access. A transfer of large files would have to go on the cloud because you have only 16 GB.

It doesn't have any one of those. It's a chrome book so it's just a PC with Google apps
