Google’s push to encourage users to adopt laptops that rely on the internet continued last night with the launch of the £229 ($249) Chromebook from Samsung. It offers six hours of battery life, 100GB of online storage, weighs 2.5lbs and measures .8" thick, the search giant claimed. Google Mail, Calendar and Docs, Google hopes, will supply users' main needs.
Chromebooks have recently been upgraded to include a more familiar computing environment, adopting a desktop and a series of windows based on the Google Chrome web browser.
