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.

Dell will cover defective laptops with faulty Intel Chips under warranty terms

Dell, like any other computer manufacturing companies that offered a PC with Intel's faulty chips, will have problems. Dell currently have 4 PCs available with those faulty chips the XPS 8300, Vostro 460, Alienware M17x R3,  and the Alienware Aurora R3. They have logically pulled these models down from Dell.com, meaning they will temporarily stop selling them since Intel's problem is "incurable". To those who already have these PCs Dell has a solution which they will base on their Warranty and Service terms. Unlike, Samsung's full refund program, Dell will not be able to replace those defective motherboards until April (schedule when Intel will release the new chips). Head after the break to check out Dell's path with this problem.
