Yesterday, we mentioned Google's new Chromebooks as they are now called.

昨天我们提到了谷歌的新产品Chromebooks。

But instead of spending nearly 200 million in recent years on overpriced Apple and Lenovo gear they could have invested in cheaper network-based devices like Chromebooks, and more staff to manage them.

要不是近几年斥资近2亿美元来购买高价苹果和联想设备，他们本可以把钱用在如谷歌笔记本等便宜的网络应用服务设备上并让更多人手管理。
