Google Chrome OS Laptops Announced
Today, Google announced the new Google Chrome OS laptops and desktops.
Pictures of the 2 new laptops that have been announced that are going to be running Chrome OS.
These new laptops, dubbed "Chromebooks" by Google, are the new laptops that are going to be running Chrome OS. Google has been known to have plans to unveil a line of Chrome laptops since they started sending out CR-48's, the prototype of the Chrome OS laptop concept, to beta testers. There will be two models from Samsung and Acer, each including the Chrome OS, Wi-Fi, and the two that been unveiled so far will also include an HD webcam with a noise cancelling microphone. The prices for these laptops start at $349 and go up from there to $499.
The current data options for the 3G Chromebooks.
Much like the CR-48, some of the Google Chromebook models from different manufacturers will include 3G from Verizon. It is pay-as-you-go 3G starting with a completementary 100MB of data per month for free for two years like on the CR-48 laptops. You can pay for more as you go along the paywall getting as low as $9.99 for a unlimited daypass and as high as $50 per month for 5GB of data on Verizon. This is a good package for consumers that truely allows people to be connected to the cloud. I'm also glad they threw in the free 100MB per month of data for these "Chromebooks."

I want to get one. I like the idea behind them and it seems like they have worked hard to make a good product. Not sure which model I would get, my brother had bad experiences with his Acer laptop, so most likely the Samsung one.
