Smart offers Acer Chromebook with their internet bundles!

This is one of those news that I have been waiting! The arrival of Google's Chromebooks to the Philippines! Although the OS or the platform can still be used even without internet connection, Smart together with Acer have created a very wise tandem here by offering the first Chromebook (officially) in the Philippines with internet bundles. No matter how unindependent the platform is to the internet it will still use the world wide web to do everything Google has promised it would do.

Samsung Series 5 launched in Europe for €399

 

The Samsung Series 5 ChromeBook is already selling in the US and the rest of the world is still yet to get a taste of the world's first ChromeOS powered laptop. Now, European markets and those who wants to get one can rejoice. Samsung have announced the launching of the Samsung Series 5 ChromeBook. To start the launching the laptop will be available starting June 24 (tomorrow). For the pricing it will be sold for €399 (£349) for the WiFi only variant and for €449 (£399) for the 3G version of the ChromeBook.

Acer unveils their own ChromeBook will cost only $349

Of course, Acer does not want to be left behind when it comes to laptops so they also unveiled their own ChromeBook, the Acer ChromeBook. It was said that the Cr-48 (the test Chrome OS laptop) was made by Acer so this would come with no surprise. The Acer ChromeBook like Samsung's Series 5, also gets that ChromeBook spec which equates to an Intel Atom N570 processor, 16GB of SSD, "instant on", 2 USB ports, a webcam, HDMI, and a 6.5 hour battery life. This laptop will be selling for a lesser price of $349 compared to the Series 5 and it also comes with an optional global 3G version. Of course the 3G version would require a bit more of your bucks. The ChromeBook will also be available for pre-order on the same day that's on June 15th over at Amazon and Best Buy.

I might be wrong but I think this is the first ChromeBook announced or unveiled after the Cr-48. Anyway, Samsung's first Chrome OS powered laptop, the Series 5, has been announced and is official. This very slim laptop measures only 0.79 inch is leading the way, according to Endgadget, in the Chrome OS space. The laptop was also made official by Google themselves, of course, no where else than during their second keynote at Google I/O in San Francisco, California.
