\"\"Google to Give Away 15.5 million Google Laptop Computers<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

From: MaxxWiredNews, March 31, 2015<\/a><\/p>\n

In a surprise announcement today, Google, Inc (NASDAQ: GOOG)\u00a0said it\u00a0will be offering 15.5 million Google Laptops – which it calls GoogleBooks – available for free, on a first come, first served basis.<\/p>\n

Google spokesperson, Shari Bramault, said the promotion will start\u00a0on April 15, 2015 and will continue until all of the GoogleBooks have been given away. In a press conference yesterday, Ms. Bramault said the free GoogleBooks feature 14″ HD screens, 4 GB of RAM, a 128 GB Solid State Hard Drive, and are \u00a0WiFi and Ethernet capable. GoogleBooks will be available in three colors – blue, black and pearl white – and while customers can indicate a color preference, Google will not guarantee that a customer will receive the computer in the color they chose. “We will make every effort to accommodate color preferences but we simply can’t guarantee colors”, Bramault said.<\/p>\n

In order to receive the free GoogleBook laptop, customers are required to pay a $29.95 shipping, insurance \u00a0& handling charge for each device ordered. Google said the laptops will be shipped via FedEx or UPS depending upon the customer’s location. Customers must also agree to a special Google’s Terms of Service<\/em> which restricts users from modifying the device in any way. Google also said in their press release today that there is a strict limit of one free GoogleBook per household.<\/p>\n

Hopeful customers can start placing orders for free GoogleBooks starting at midnight Pacific Daylight Time (U.S.)\u00a0April 15, 2015; Ms. Bramault urged Customers to submit their orders as early as possible on that day. Most experts expect \u00a0Google will run out of free computers within 8 to 10 hours after the giveaway launches.<\/p>\n

Market analysts say the promotion will cost Google nearly $50 billion and doubt Google will offer\u00a0free computers again. Market analyst Marcum Wayneskeet of Blue Nations Press<\/em> said: “The logistics and cost of this giveaway are unprecedented and I personally can’t imagine\u00a0Google repeating this type of event…”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
