Google has its first retail shop, inside a PC World at Tottenham Court Road in London.
The "Chromezone" shows off Google's Chromebook, letting customers get their hands on the web-focused laptops.
Arvind Desikan, head of consumer marketing at Google UK, said that 80% of laptop sales are in-store, not online.
"It is our first foray into physical retail," he told The Evening Standard. "This is a new channel for us and it's still very, very early days. It's something Google is going to play with and see where it leads."

"Store" may be a bit of a stretch. It's a step in the right direction though.
 
To be honest, it doesn't look that great (for now), it's fairly limited in what they can offer. Good for advertising future products though and I hope to see more stores, just because I'm keen to visit the ChromeZone. :P
