When Chromebooks first hit the scene, they were mainly just really cheap, stripped down laptops that weren’t good for much more than surfing the web. Thanks to Acer though, Chromebooks are getting way better. They just unveiled their new version of the C910 Chromebook that has Intel’s Core i5 processor. This means that the new C910 is the fastest Chromebook to ever come out. Acer says that on top of the awesome processor, it is also going to have a 15.6 inch screen and is going to be built with a super durable body. So not only is it a great performer, but it willRead More →

You have the Windows Phone, tablets, laptops, desktops, and even the Xbox all running different versions. Apparently Microsoft even thinks that it is confusing. That is why they are planning to simplify the situation and put out one version of Windows that all devices will run on. At the company’s quarterly earnings call on Tuesday, CEO Saya Nadella announced the big news to analysts. All of the different versions of Windows use the exact same code, so it seemsRead More →

Trying to keep up in the laptop world today is next to impossible it seems. We are constantly bombarded with laptops from companies everywhere. It’s definitely not a bad thing to have the expanded choices, but it can be hard to tell them apart at times. When the market becomes so flooded with new laptops, some get swept under the rug and they all tend to start looking gray. There is nothing really that separates what they are from each other, other than the inner workings. While there is a bit of uniformity for most devices, Samsung has teamed up with Google now in theRead More →

In recent Google news, the internet giant has announced that it has begun selling basic laptop computers to schools at a price of $99, a price point that prominent MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte haled out back in 2005 as the key to bringing computing power to the masses. Google stated on Monday that it will be offering the dramatic educational discount on its Series 5 Chromebooks made by Samsung Electronics Co. Unfortunately, the offer doesn’t last forever. According to Google, schools will only be able to receive this heavily discounted price on the Chromebooks until December 21, 2012, at which point the laptops will goRead More →

Even though most people are saying that the Ultrabook market is dead (man, that was fast) that hasn’t stopped Sony from working hard on producing a slim, ultraportable laptop that is rumored to run Google’s Chrome operating system. That is, if recent documents filed with the FCC are to be believed. That would mark Sony’s first Chromebook, the device that Google unsuccessfully tried to launch not too long ago. Google struck a deal with both Acer and Samsung almost a year ago to sell Chromebooks, which the company described as instant-on “browser-in-a-box” devices, similar to netbooks. The difference in Chromebooks was that they were more affordableRead More →

Just because the official release of the cloud-based Chrome OS is still months away, it hasn’t stopped Google from launching a massive pilot program. This program offers specially-chosen end users, Google employees and journalists, their own prototype Chrome netbook known as the Cr-48. The sad thing is that these 12.1-inch laptops will never be sold commercially, but they do offer an extremely detailed preview of what can be expected from the very first Chrome systems that will be launched mid-2011. The Cr-48’s are not nor will they ever be available to consumers, so it is safe to say that the current design and hardware willRead More →

Some people may wonder what the difference is between Google’s Chrome OS devices and their Android devices. For the longest time, I really wasn’t exactly sure myself, but for right now, it seems that the biggest difference is simply a keyboard. Google’s Chrome OS seems to definitely be much more directed at netbooks and notebooks, while Android seems to be much more useful for the company’s vision of tablets. Linus Upson, the engineer director of both Chrome OS and Android, said in an interview that the company views the Chrome OS as “very focused on laptops.” This statement basically means that devices with a keyboardRead More →
