Google Will Give You A Ton Of Free Storage If You Buy A Chromebook This Year

JILLIAN D'ONFRONov 21, 2014, 22:30 IST

Google just announced a holiday deal giving away 1 terabyte of Google Drive storage for two years to anyone who buys one of its Chromebook laptops before the end of the year.

Chromebooks run Chrome OS, an operating system based on the Chrome web browser. Everything you want to do on your Chromebook, you have to do on the web. So instead of writing something in Microsoft Word and saving to your desktop, you use Google Drive to store your Google Docs, Spreadsheets, Slides etc. in the cloud. For that reason, the free data is a big win. That amount of space would usually cost $240.

According to Google, 1 TB of data storage gives you enough room to take a selfie twice a day for the next 200 years and still have space left over.
