Here’s How to Walk Away from Alamo Drafthouse in Austin with a Chrome Device Demo Unit on Tuesday

The Chrome devices we're bringing to #GoogleNext18 Extended in Austin this year were all hand-picked to give you a leg-up in the competitive business space - and they're all available for a five-day free demos.

Upon entry, you'll be given a raffle ticket which you can drop into the corresponding bucket for the Chrome device you want to check out first!

At the end of our pop-up shop extravaganza (1:15 PM), we'll be drawing a single ticket from each bucket. If your number is called, then you can take your chosen device back with you to the office free of charge for a 5-day demo. Don't worry if you don't win; you'll still get your demo in the weeks to come.

Let's take a look at things you can win a chance to demo from our Google Next pop-up event.

The HP Chromebox G2: A Powerful Office Desktop in a Small Form Factor

 HP is one of the best-known brands around right now when it comes to rolling out new Chrome devices. Recently, the business announced their sequel to the 2014 Chromebox - the Chromebox G2. Although it might not look like much on the surface, the illusion of a simple Chrome solution falls apart when you see the huge selection of accessibility options, including an Ethernet port, SD card reader, HDMI port, and various USB ports too!

Additionally, under the hood of the HP Chromebox, you'll find an Intel Dual-core Celeron processor, unless you plan to upgrade to the available eighth-generation core i7 for even faster performance. Want a kiosk solution that keeps your whole store running? Drop your ticket in here.

The Acer Chromebase for Exceptional Desktop Meeting Support

 Sometimes, the most important part of running a successful business is making sure that everyone stays connected. The first version of the Acer Chromebase delivered at CES 2016 didn't have all the amazing Google enterprise software of the modern version. Now, if you're looking for an exceptional video conferencing system or a solution that tracks and supports interactions with your in-office and remote workers seamlessly, then you really can't go wrong with the Acer Chromebase.

Getting the Chromebase up and running is as simple and plugging it in. With this device, you get a 1080p touchscreen display, an adjustable camera, several ports to choose from, and a remote management tool so you can troubleshoot audio and video quality from a distance. If you're looking for exceptional meetings in an instant, drop your ticket in here.
