Google Chrome OS: Taking a place in the market

Google Chrome OS was first thrown into the computing world several years ago with the prototype reference notebook, the CR-48. Since then, It has come a seriously long way in terms of feature set and supported hardware devices from various manufacturers. 

I decided it was about time to re-evaluate the position of Chrome OS and Chromebooks in the current market with the rise of cloud based services and web apps. Of course, this OS does only appeal to a limited market - but sales figures and the world of media has assumed Google's very own OS a solid place in the world of modern technology.

The benefits and drawbacks have to be closely examined, for example the current support for offline editing of office documents - but overall the experience is getting better by the day, almost down purely to third party developers.

What if Google Made a Chrome OS Desktop?

Google are finally going to be launching 'Chrome OS' on two new netbooks on June, 15th. Google selected certain reviews and send out test units for them to send feedback back to Google about Chrome OS. However, these CR-48 notebooks were very basic, and unbranded.

But would Chrome OS work on a desktop machine? Well today, no. In my opinion, Google Chrome OS is ideal for Netbooks because all they need to do is surf the web and handle a few documents.

Certainly in 10 years time, when the whole computer market is web-based, and everything you do is inside a browser, but as of now, it is still a brand new concept.

Chrome OS notebooks or 'Chromebooks' are ideal if you want to take a laptop round, and access the internet from anywhere (via 3G).
