Acer Releases the Netbook Based on Google Chrome OS

Acer will become the first producer that will release the netbook based on Google Chrome OS.

According to unknown sources Acer has been evolving its Chrome OS netbook since mid-2009. Several months before the company launched its dual-boot Windows XP/Google Android netbook.

DigiTimes says that the netbook did not find the market as it was expected.

Despite of the D250′s fate, Acer can be sure that a Chrome OS device will be in demand. One should note that Acer is working not only with Google Chrome OS devices but also with several producers such as Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, and Toshiba. But still a specific day of the netbook based on Google Chrome OS launch was not mentioned.

But it does not mean that a user has to wait six months or more in order to install Google Chrome OS on a netbook. As there are manufacturers that produced created builds based on Chromium OS. It is possible to avail Chrome OS on a bootable USB key or one can use a version that is designed for the Dell mini 10v.

The only drawback is that a user becomes dependable for any system updates. Actual Chrome OS devices will update automatically in the background. But in case you are ready for experiments then one can bring Chrome OS products to market.
