Google Chromebook coming June 15th.

[Johnny]

Did anyone hear of these? I am guessing that is what the testers were for.

Chromebooks are built and optimized for the web, where you already spend most of your computing time. So you get a faster, simpler and more secure experience without all the headaches of ordinary computers.

Google has a site about them, but comes back to say yours june 15th. They are being made by Acer and Samsung. Here is more info on the one from Samsung. -> http://www.google.com/chromebook/#chromebooks-samsung

I got one also, and I wasn't an early tester 🙂

They didn't list the price. So I am really wondering what they will cost.

Just like with Android, Google only makes the OS [some software like Chrome/web apps]. 🙂
