Cr-48, the First Chrome OS Notebook

Chemistry, anyone? You might probably be thinking of a Chromium isotope. Well, you’re right. The Cr-48 is an isotope of the element Chromium. But for Google, it’s more than that.

Cr-48 is the first notebook or laptop to run the anticipated Chrome OS announced last year.

Google Chrome OS is still unfinished though; however, the first notebook to run the OS is set to be released mid-2011.



Have a quick glimpse of Cr-48 notebook in action.

Interesting. I wish Samsung, Acer, and among other manufacturers will release their Chrome OS notebooks at a more reasonable price next year. What do you think?
