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


Specifications
12.1" (1280x800) 300 nit Display
3.26 lbs / 1.48 kg
8.5 hours of continuous usage 1
Intel® AtomTM Dual-Core Processor
Built in dual-band Wi-Fi and World-mode 3G (optional)
HD Webcam
2 USB 2.0 ports
4-in-1 memory card slot
Mini-VGA port
Fullsize Chrome keyboard
Oversize fully-clickable trackpad

The samsung is coming to Best Buy and Amazon. The Acer will be at Amazon only. So I will be checking one out.
 
I got an email offering me a shot early (June 1st) as I was an original tester. :)

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.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
