Samsung Series 5 unveiled - Chrome OS powered laptop (ChromeBook)

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.
