Google’sremoved the videofor incomprehensible reasons , however TechRadardug it up on YouTube , and foundEric Schmidtpromising an affordable damage - point for netbooks withChrome OSand the potency for it to be offered on - contract by phone web .
We should be seeing the drip of netbooks and pad by the start of 2011 , with Chrome OS itself being released at the end of this yr . Acknowledging that Google itself ca n’t determine price - points for manufacturers of the netbooks dilute with Chrome OS , Schmidt said yesterday at the Atmosphere Cloud Computing forum that he hop-skip they ’ll use the “ current netbook pricings which are $ 300 – $ 400 monetary value points . ”
“ Those price are altogether square up , by the way , by the cost of the glass , the toll of the processor and thing like that , but in our lawsuit Chrome OS and Android are complimentary so there is no software tax associated with all of this ”
Will we see a cheaper netbook come out of the Chrome O nest ? Acer ’s thrown its weight behind Chrome OS , hop it ’ll have the first machine to market with it , but there are far cheaper manufacturers out there with netbooks — ASUS , Dell , Medion and Lenovo , to name names .

I ’d like to see an affordable netbook which could really convince the great unwashed to get one alongside a newfangled laptop or desktop , but it also boils down to just what Google is propositioning with Chrome OS — and how they can sell it to us . [ TechRadar ]
