Netbook Review UK

Google’s Chrome OS open source netbook operating system is due to be launched later this year. Chrome OS is built around a web browser, and the idea behind the browser is to be a lean, quick and snappy internet consumption OS.  None of that is new, but at an event recently, Google CEO Eric Schmidt let a few more details drop.   Schmidt says he expects netbooks running Chrome OS to sell for about $300 to $400, which is on the lower end of what current Windows netbooks sell for in the US market.

The real question, we think, is whether or not Google will build any hardware themselves.   They’ve already proven capable and willing to produce (or at least partner to produce) hardware with the Nexus One smartphone.  And then, if they do produce a device, will it be a netbook or a tablet?   I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
