The Google Chromebook Breaks Cover At I/O 2011, Hits Retailers June 15th

The Google Chromebook is here for reals now. Google first announced the nondescript CR-48 Chrome OS Notebook back in December of 2010 but the production version, now called Chromebook, was just announced at Google I/O 2011. The idea is the same as the original in that it's basically a barebones computer that runs Google Chrome OS. In many ways the philosophy is a lot like Apple's iPad in that the hardware takes a backseat to the user experience. Google is selling a Chrome interaction platform, not a traditional notebook.]]>
