Welcome to a laptop battery specialist of the dell laptop battery
Travelling to the USA soon? Here's a world-first perk of flying Virgin America for domestic hops: passengers can take free "test-flights" of the new Chromebook ultralight laptop from Google -- plus, they'll get free wi-fi on board if they do.
You'll pick up your loaner Chromebook, which Google is positioning (perhaps rather optimistically) as a "MacBook Air-killer", at a Chrome Zone kiosk near your departure gate, handing over your credit card for a holding deposit.
The promo images show the Samsung-made Chromebook, which is slightly larger than the Acer version. Samsung spruiks it as having 8.5 hours of battery like dell INSPIRON 2600 battery , dell INSPIRON 2650 battery , dell 1G222 battery , dell BAT3151L8 battery , dell Latitude X300 battery , dell W0465 battery , dell Inspiron 2000 battery , dell Latitude LS battery , dell 2834T battery , dell 4834T battery life and a 12.1-inch display, while the smaller Acer has a 6-hour battery and an 11.6-inch display.
Either version should have more than enough battery for your flight.
When you get off the plane, Google staff will be waiting for you at the gate to receive the Chromebook back.
Now, the details: it's available on all flights between Virgin America's new terminal in San Francisco and Dallas/Fort Worth, Boston and Chicago. The Chromebooks will be available today, 1 July, until 30 September.

While you're using the Chromebook, don't forget to check out Google's top travel search features.
(And of course, if you're flying Virgin America, don't forget to give them your Virgin Australia Velocity Rewards number to earn local reward points -- much more useful than Virgin America's Altitude reward points!)
