What Makes It Hot

“Hot” is the word that came to my mind when I saw this new Chromebook. The design looks totally cool. There are lot of colors to choose from. And this time, there is an addition to 100 GB Free Google Drive Space, 60-day free trial with Google Play Music All Access.

Micro USB charger is another cool thing. Now, you don’t have to carry a separate charger for your Chromebook. These days, every other guy you meet has a smartphone and if it is not an iPhone, his phone charger is compatible with yours. Because all of them use micro USB for charging. Now you get the same flexibility with Chromebook too.

The light bar from Google Pixel, just to make it look cool. I love it!

So, who is buying this one?
