This is Google's Chrome OS Notebook: The Cr-48
The birth of a full web-based OS.

Google today took the wraps off of its Chrome OS Notebook, which it calls the Cr-48. It'll be the first of its kind as part of a pilot test program for Chrome OS, which is Google's operating system that leverages web connectivity and cloud storage in a way that no other platform before it has.
We don't know the full hardware specs of what's inside yet, but Google has revealed that it has a 12-inch screen, webcam, full-sized keyboard (but a search key where the caps lock usually is), Wi-Fi and built-in Verizon 3G support.

The thing weighs 3.8 lbs and has a battery that will give it over 8 hours active usage and a week standby time. The thing boots in about 10 seconds and resumes from sleep instantly – which is explained by the flash storage.
Check out more images of the notebook below, as well as the introductory video.






Get ready because there is no stopping this movement!
I guess the only thing that matters in these is a quick CPU and a GPU that provides HD video playback.

hmm.. someone from Google needs to learn to.. google :|
I do wonder however, will there be native dual boot support?
Seems great for anything web based, but I certainly do need to use my Windows programs from time to time.
@applegetsmelaid(doubtful) - I guess Cimex should have to try again too. I think this one might predate the floor scrubber.

Google is off the hook because they used a dash in the name to make it unique.
was hoping for something that would be abit more attractive to opensourced coders as a small portable coding box. the whole create code on the machine your creating code for deal.
Not useful for me, but think various persons buy a netbook only for facebook/gmail.
