Google Chromebook launched – a new laptop

Chromebook using Google’s Chrome operating system had been launched by Search-engine giant Google. Google Operating system is essentially a web browser that steers users to applications such as email and spreadsheets directly on the web. Chrome was designed specifically for laptops, whereas its Android platform was focused on smartphones and tablets.

Chromebook computers won’t need anti-virus software, firewalls, back-ups or even to install updates, and the device will boot in seconds.

This device looks like a laptop that has the cost of a laptop but can only run a web browser and web-based applications.
