In Northern California where I live, summer is here, which means family
vacations, kids’ camps, BBQs and hopefully some relaxation. But it also
means back-to-school shopping is just around the corner. So in case
you’re on the hunt for a laptop in addition to pens, paper, and stylish
new outfits, your search just got a whole lot easier. Chromebooks—a
fast, simple, secure laptop that won't break the bank—will now be
carried in over 3 times more stores than before, or more than 6,600
stores around the world.
In addition to Best Buy and Amazon.com, we’re excited to welcome several
new retailers to the family. Starting today, Walmart will be making the
newest Acer Chromebook,
which has a 16GB Solid State Drive (SSD), available in approximately
2,800 stores across the U.S., for just $199. Look for Chromebooks coming
to the laptop sections of a Walmart near you this summer.
And beginning this weekend, Staples will bring a mix of Chromebooks from Acer, HP and Samsung to every store in the U.S.—more than 1,500 in total. You can also purchase via Staples online, while businesses can purchase through the Staples Advantage B2B program. In the coming months select Office Depot, OfficeMax, and regional chains Fry’s and TigerDirect locations will begin selling Chromebooks.

In the 10 other markets worldwide where Chromebooks are sold,
availability in national retailers continues to expand. In addition to
Dixons in the UK, now 116 Tesco stores are selling Chromebooks, as well
as all Media Markt and Saturn stores in the Netherlands, FNAC stores in
France and Elgiganten stores in Sweden. In Australia, all JB Hi-Fi and
Harvey Norman stores will be carrying Chromebooks for their customers as
well. With our partners, we’re working hard to bring Chromebooks to
even more countries later this year.
Chromebooks make great computers for everyone in the family—and now you shouldn’t have to look very far to find one. Happy summer!
