First Chromebook on sale in US
The first ever laptop running Google’s Chrome operating system has gone on sale in the US.
The Samsung machine replaces the installed software with browser-based apps which store files online.
Google claims that this technology shows a new way of computing, which removes the need for such features as anti-virus software or optical drives. However many applications available on Mac, Windows and Linux do not yet exist for chrome.
