This small fee includes both the hardware and online services needed for Chrome OS. Later this year, Google may launch a similar plan for small and medium-sized businesses, too—something to watch out for.
This all lines up with what we’d heard previously about the Cr-48 business model, but having as solid a pub as Forbes back up the news on the eve of the I/O day two keynote seems to make this a pretty sure thing. [Forbes]
