Samsung Laptop sale: Samsung Series 5 Chromebook irons out kinks

20.07.11The first Chromebooks went on sale last month and more are expected. I've been testing out Samsung's Series 5 Chromebook with Wi-Fi and 3G. I like it, but it has some meaningful shortcomings that will make it unsuitable for many users except as a extra computer. Rather than using separate applications to check email, imagine documents or send instant messages, everything you do in Chrome OS has to be done within the browser. The usefulness is that Chrome OS is a much more streamlined operating system than Windows or Mac OS. Startup and shutdown can be done in less than 20 seconds or so, and resuming from standby configuration is nearly instantaneous. Chrome OS is also theoretically much more profitable than standard laptops. Because Chromebooks are designed to be connected to the Internet, dollop data is stored on the machine itself. And because everything is focused on the browser - which Google updates many times - there's less chance of a malicious program running in the unseen.
