According to Internet Media: GOOGLE'S THIN-CLIENT operating system Chrome will get debut on laptops from Samsung and Acer.
At its I/O event yesterday, Google teased the world with a few details revealing that its untested Chrome operating system will appear on Samsung and Acer laptops this Summer. Now Samsung has chipped in with a confirmed release date and hardware details.
The Samsung laptop will be called the Series 5 Chromebook and it will sit on a 12.1in chassis and have a 1280x800 WXGA resolution Superbright 300 nit display.
For punters' money, Samsung is going to bundle in 2GB of RAM, 16GB of SSD storage and Intel's dual-core N570 Atom chip running at 1.66Ghz. It will weigh only 3.2 pounds and Samsung claimed you will get 8.5 hours of battery life for standard use but up to five hours on video playback without the need to recharge.
Ports are relatively minimal with 2 USB, a SIM card slot, a multi-format card reader and a VGA dongle. Samsung will release only two flavours in June, a 3G WiFi model at £399 and WiFi only model for £349.
