新「Chrome
搶在微軟和蘋果推出新產品前，網路巨擘Google（谷歌）和三星
聯手合作，推出11.6吋螢幕，搭載Chrome
Web瀏覽器、無硬碟機的全新「Chromebook」，定價249美元（台幣7470元），下周起在全美電子連鎖店和線上商店開賣，預計本周末開始接受
預訂。
這款和三星電子合作生產的輕薄型筆電搭載ChromeOS作業系統，配備11.6吋螢幕，但沒有硬碟，上網後才能使用Google等科技業者經營的大型資 料中心提供的線上文書處理、遊戲軟體與檔案儲存空間。筆電本身沒有檔案儲存空間，用戶也不能在筆電上安裝軟體，也就是說，這款筆電離線時幾無用武之地。
這是因為Google希望推動消費者從「雲端」使用軟體，遠離以個人電腦作業系統為主的應用程式，例如微軟的視窗。Google不會因為新筆電的銷售而獲利，主要收益有賴用戶透過新裝置使用Google Web相關服務。
Google Chrome產品開發全球資深副總裁Sundar Pichai表示，新「Chromebook」電池續航長達6.5小時，重量2.5磅（約1.13公斤），厚度不到0.8吋，是適合每個人的電腦。他說 「Chromebook」沒有硬碟，「我們努力幫助人們生活在雲端。」
