New Chrome Book Looks Just Like Macbook Air.

[Scorbing]

I smell law suit again :s

Google just announced their newest Chromebook. It runs Google?s Chrome OS. It has an 11.6-inch screen with 1366 x 768 resolution, 6 hours of battery life, a 100 GB flash storage drive and it only costs $249. It?s beautiful. It looks just like the 11-inch MacBook Air. And of course, it?s made by Samsung.

Looking at other Ultrabooks, they may have had hints from the Macbook Air but at least they put their own twists on the interior design.

The back of this Chromebook is in typical Samsung flair, but damn they were lazy on the inside.

I'm a huge fan of Google. I dislike a lot of the legal bully tactics that Apple use. But even I have to say it looks like this was done purely to provoke...

249$ for a laptop with Arm processor, fingers tingling with putting Ubuntu or something instead of ChromeOS. That'd be cheap.

Its painfully slow.

Its painfully slow.

What is painfully slow? The ARM PC or Ubuntu?

They should have at least reversed the colours; Black body and white keys. That would look neat I think.

FYI, Apple doesn't own the color silver.

N0, but they own the design and unless you are blind, that Chrome Book looks exactly like a Macbook Air. Samsung is asking for trouble. It's like they are provoking Apple.

I recently swaped my screen to 1080p in my laptop... now, any inferior resolution looks awfully terrible to me :(

This new Chrome Book is so cool. I want one now.

[nekkidtruth]

I'd have to say this is Samsung giving Apple the middle finger. Which I find quite humorous.

Nah, this won't end in a lawsuit. There are other laptops on the market that look very similar to the Macbook Air. Personally, I think it's not that great of a design, eh subjective. Anyways, I really don't see the point of a "Chromebook." The whole idea of a Chrome OS is just stupid. I like the browser, but trying to create an OS ecosystem out of, just doesn't work.

The one on the left looks like a cheap Chinese knockoff.

^ LOL.

Seems you're blind as you only got as far as the colour before hitting the whine button. Actually look at the device properly and try again.

Was scrolling down a bit when I noticed it felt like I was also on apple.com! :laugh:

I dunno. I don't like all these lawsuits and fanboy wars that have stemmed from all this, but they do look... similar as hell.

Google said NO more updates in video :)))))

How it possible ? Chrome OS with autoupdating or i dont know what dat mean

[Growled Member]

I suppose it'll update like Chrome does now, silently. You'll never know when it happens.

[Southern Patriot]

I'm not surprised in the least. The first prototype Chromebooks looked quite a bit like a black Macbook as well.

[drazgoosh]

Does it have USB 3.0?

[Edit] To answer my own question: Yes it does.

[Edit 2] Are there any video playing software that can play .mp4 and .mkv files?

I'd have to say this is Samsung giving Apple the middle finger demonstrating once again they have no sense of originality whatsoever. Which I find quite humorous.

Fixed that for you.

[nekkidtruth]

Fixed that for you.

Says the Apple fanboy. Ell Oh Ell!
