http://techcrunch.com – Wait! Belay that order for the $249 Samsung Chromebook! There’s a 3G model coming and it’s just $329. That’s a great deal. For some reason Samsung and Google did not announce this upcoming model alongside the $249, WiFi-only model yesterday. The 3G model was found within the bowels of Amazon. Spec-wise, it’s the same Chromebook with the notable addition of a 3G modem. Details about the wireless plan are still missing. Previous 3G Chromebooks could use 100MB of Verizon data monthly for two years. No word if this Chromebook ships with the same deal. This model presumably (IT news)

Stories similar to There’s A 3G Samsung Chromebook Coming Soon And It’s Just $329

One complaint I’ve heard quite a few times about Google’s Chromebook is that it won’t be attractive to consumers (as opposed to enterprise) because it’ll mean people are back to Flash-based games rather than the ‘games as apps’ model that Apple has created. Not true, and to back up my point, here’s exhibit A.

Google is announcing a new $249 Chromebook manufactured by Samsung, which you’ll be able to order starting next week (at least, that’s the official launch date, although some vendors may start taking preorders before then).

Oh, HP. How you try. The company just pulled the sheet back on its first Chromebook, the Pavilion 14 Chromebook. But in traditional HP fashion, the notebook is bulky and expensive. At $329, the most expensive new Chromebook on the market.

Chromebook Pixel: Wow! 12 weeks 3 days ago

From LinuxBSDos.com.Chromebook Pixel: Wow! Yes, wow, just wow. I think I’m used to seeing Chromebooks in the $200 to $300 price range, so when Chromebook Pixel flashed on my RSS Feed reader, I was expecting another ARM-powered computer in that price range. What a shock! Chromebook Pixel is Google’s latest offering in the computer hardware sector.

Google Chromebooks, those Web-based notebooks running Chrome OS, have a new sibling called the Chromebox. Indeed, the Samsung Chromebox is a home office device that resembles Apple’s Mac Mini. Why should Google Apps Authorized Resellers care?

Yesterday Google unveiled its Chrome OS devices - the Chromebook. While opinions seem divided, most people I’m hearing from don’t see the Chromebook as something that they would want. But why?

Google had a big day yesterday, for better and for worse. However, one of the most exciting stories to come out of yesterday was Google’s unveiling of a brand new, $249 Samsung Chromebook.

The Chromebook Pixel is the best Chromebook ever made. As with all Chromebooks, that may mean nothing to you if you don’t like ChromeOS, but there can be little doubt that the Pixel is a beautiful piece of precision engineering that feels like a premium laptop that wouldn’t be out of place in any line-up of $1,000+ laptops.

Last month when Google announced the new Chromebook Pixel, they promised an LTE equipped model would be available in April. Google is on track to live up to that promise as they have updated the Play Store order page for the top of the line Pixel laptop. Priced at $1,449 for the LTE version, Google indicates units will ship by April 8th.
