hey guys
i see google have new product on their side.
the CHROMEBOOK!
http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/devices/#utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-hpp-na-us&utm_medium=hpp
dam i admire google for everything they did in last few years!
it started with the search engine it self..
they always moving forward twice faster than any companies leaving behind the apple and microsoft with their Google Nexus phone and android OS.
and now this! a Chromebook! i guess it uses the android OS too. but on notebooks.

Why this came out a long time ago! Well I spose we all find out stuff a bit late every now and then, eh?

Anyway, yes, Google is pretty awesome with how they have done all of this. The book o chrome is very neat...

The chromebook is pretty useless I think.

And it is so expensive... For 550 dollars you get 2GB RAM, and a 1.3GHZ processor, 16GB HDD, 6 hour battery and all you can do with it is surf the web. Nice idea but not implemented well IMO now that I have researched it.

Ah, it's, as I say so often, demographic-targeted. Essentially, this is larger version of a tablet phone. I mean it's the same architecture too lol. Kinda purpose-defeating. Still, it will have a market and I predict fairly decent sales by the end of 2013.
