System specs that Google Chrome might be

Now that everyone is still awaiting the launch of the Google Chrome OS there is talk about what exactly the system specs of the hardware will actually be for the netbook. The Google netbook has been reported to have a chipset that is made from Nvidia that will allow for fast graphical processing on a netbook. The computer will be powered by an ARM processor which is meant to consume less power than Intel's Atom line of CPUs that it makes for common netbooks on the market.

The netbook is said to be a 10.1-inch TFT screen and be HD ready with a 16:9 resolution with a ready multi-touch display that will make it easy for anyone to learn and use the operating system, which is a light-weight version of linux. It will also come with a 64 GB or larger solid state drive which wont make it too expensive for those on a budget, 2 GB of RAM, and also the usual laptop features such as built in WiFi AGN, 3G, and Bluetooth wirless networking. The netbook is also expected to have the standard Ethernet and USB ports, and also a built in webcam and a multi-card reader.

The price for the netbook will probably fall below $300 US, so expect to see a cost in between the range of $200 to $300 and the laptop's price will be subsidized. It will be sold in two ways to the consumer; by directly buying it from Google or bundled with a monthly wireless plan that may be in the range of $30-$40 per month.
