- 16 GB of Storage: While 16 gigabytes of storage space may seem like a small amount, well the answer is yes that is a small amount.

This is a huge benefit to the manufacturing of the laptops as it makes the device much more portable, lightweight, and even cuts down the total cost of the laptop. Cloud storage is a way to store data over the internet and allows you to access your data on any computer that is hooked up to the internet. Of course, if you like you can always purchase a portable hard drive for under $100 and plug it into the usb port of the Chromebook.

The next time you meet with your study group and have no computer because the battery died you will be cursing your laptop and wished you had a Chromebook with its large battery life. 8 Hours is a large amount of time that should please even the most critical laptop users.
Black and White: It looks as if there will for sure be a black color for the Sony Chromebook, however, there has also been leaked pictures of a new white version to be released as well.
