Chromebook

A Chromebook is a personal computer running the Google Chrome OS Operating system. Chromebooks are known for their comparatively low Cost and faster startup times. The devices are designed to be used while Connected to the Internet and support applications that reside on the Web, rather than traditional PC applications like Microsoft Office and Photoshop that reside on the machine itself.

He first Chromebooks for sale, by Acer Inc. And Samsung, were announced at the Google I/O conference in May 2011 and began shipping on 15 June 2011.Lenovo and Hewlett Packard entered the market in early 2013. Eight laptop models have been Introduced to date, as well as a three desktop models, called "Chromeboxes".

Google Chrome OS is a Linux-based operating system designed by Google to work exclusively with web applications. Google announced the operating system on July 7, 2009 and made it an open source project, called Chromium OS, in November 2009.

Unlike Chromium OS, which can be compiled from the downloaded source code, Chrome OS only ships on specific hardware from Google's manufacturing partners. The user interface takes a minimalist approach, resembling that of the Google Chrome web browser. Since Google Chrome OS is aimed at users who spend most of their computer time on the Web, the only application on the device is a browser incorporating a media player and a file manager.

The launch date for retail hardware featuring Chrome OS slipped after Google first announced the operating system: from an initial forecast date in late 2010 to June 15, 2011, when "Chromebooks" from Samsung (and then Acer in July) actually shipped.
