A few months ago, Google made a bold move to enter the Netbook market with a new web-based OS called . In the initial months, Google gave out free netbooks to few users called as Cr-48. I was one of the few lucky users to get my hands-on the Cr-48 netbook and found it pretty usable while travelling and performing tasks such as creating documents, emailing and more.

    I would like one Chromebook but I still think that it is a little bit expensive, considering that it using a Linux based operating system and a netbook running Windows, which we know it cost some money, cost around $300 bucks.
    Hopefully soon prices will drop!

    Seriously … why waste your money on these things? You can get a Windows 7 laptop with a faster processor and a 250Gb hard drive for the same price. Oh, and if you download the free Chrome browser, you’ll also get all of the same functionality in Chrome OS.
