Phil Newton of Samsung has confirmed that the company will be launch a netbook powered by the Google Chrome OS later this year. The netbook will feature a 10.1 inch display, 2GB of RAM, a 64GB SSD, along with 3G and WiFi built in. It’ll be very similar to the N210, pictured in the above picture. There’s also rumors going around, that it’ll feature a 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor. Hopefully we’ll hear more about this netbook soon and can confirm or deny this.
Rumor: Google Chrome netbook specs
Over at IBTimes, they’ve posted up the specs of the upcoming Google netbook. Until we hear from Google officially, these are classed as rumored specs but, if they are true, this could set the Google netbook apart from other netbooks currently on the market.
Of course, the netbook will come with Google’s OS Chrome. Apart from that, it’s also said to have a 10.1 inch display which is multi touch and supports HD. Other specs include 2GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD and an Nvidia Tegra ARM CPU. It’ll also have the other features you’d find on netbooks including Wi-Fi, bluetooth, a web cam and 3G support.
Along with the features, there’s also speculation that the netbook will be out by the next holiday season, 2010. A price of under $300 has also been suggested for a subsidized netbook, meaning Google may partner with a network carrier to offer a 3G bundle plan.
