Summer travel with a Chromebook
Thursday, June 30, 2011
A
Chromebook
makes a great travel companion, with its 8-hour battery life, light weight, built-in Wi-Fi and available 3G. So we’ve teamed up with
Virgin America
and
Ace Hotel
to give you the chance to experience a Chromebook on your summer travels.
When you fly
Virgin America
from San Francisco, Chicago O’Hare, Dallas/Fort Worth or Boston, look for the
Chrome Zone
near your departure gate. Check out a Chromebook for free and browse away with complimentary Wi-Fi in the terminal and on your flight.
If your travel plans include a stay in the Big Apple, check into
Ace Hotel New York
and you’ll find a Chromebook waiting in your room. Use it anywhere, in or out of the hotel, with free Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity.
To make your trip even more enjoyable, we’ve also developed two new web apps: The
Ace New York Field Guide
tips you off on the hottest spots in town, from cool clubs to unique boutiques, and the
Beat the Boot
game which challenges you to get the highest score possible in the 8 seconds it takes to boot a Chromebook. Plus you can choose from thousands of other web apps in the
Chrome Web Store
.
Chromebooks arrive this Friday, July 1st at Virgin America and Ace Hotel New York, and are available for the rest of the summer. Get all the details
here
, and happy travels!
