HP Chromebook 14 at Costco
My brother-in-law has been trying to convince me that I ‘need’ a Google Chromebook. I must admit that when I saw this one at Costco I was very tempted.
My main reservations are that I don’t do all my work in the browser and I already have a laptop.
Google is known as a place where engineers get to spend one day a week working on projects that aren’t necessarily in their job descriptions. Many of Google’s innovations are products of this ‘free time’.
I did not realize this idea was not a Google invention. According to LifeHacker the Post-It note was developed at 3M under a similar program that has been in place since 1948 and HP’s 10% program may even be older.
But it took Dilbert to put this in perspective for me.
