Now, we have Google's Chromebook released by Samsung and Acer. Reading the specs, I like it's battery but I cant help and look for the LAN port since I use DSL here at home.. hmm...

Google also claimed that the Chromebooks have many layers of security built in so there is no anti-virus software to buy and maintain, which is a very big plus, if this is true.

It will be available online starting June 15 in the USA, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy and Spain. More countries will follow in the coming months.

I just wonder how much it will cost when it reaches the Philippines.
