Circle June 15th on your calendars because that’s when Google’s Chromebooks go on sale. What’s a Chromebook you ask? Here’s what Google had to say:
These are not typical notebooks. With a Chromebook you won’t wait minutes for your computer to boot and browser to start. You’ll be reading your email in seconds. Thanks to automatic updates the software on your Chromebook will get faster over time. Your apps, games, photos, music, movies and documents will be accessible wherever you are and you won’t need to worry about losing your computer or forgetting to back up files. Chromebooks will last a day of use on a single charge, so you don’t need to carry a power cord everywhere. And with optional 3G, just like your phone, you’ll have the web when you need it.
Made by Samsung and Acer, these notebooks are designed to go after the netbook market while also taking on Microsoft at the low end of the market. They will be available for order on Amazon.com and Best Buy’s online store on June 15. If you’re a business, you have an option of getting one along with technical support for $28 a month.
Someone from Samsung or Acer who happens to read this can feel free to pass one my way so that I can do a proper review of it.
