More on the Samsung Sliding 7

By far the most impressive device I have seen at CES would be the Samsung Sliding 7. It’s a tablet/laptop combination that is really a great form factor for Chrome OS. Of course, this version is running a version of Windows 7 that supports touch. The screen is around 10″ and Lilliputing reports the device will be priced at $699, which seems reasonable to me. Subtract your obligatory Windows licensing fee, and you’re looking at a device that m....

I think it has a future in a lot of different devices.There’s been a lack of updates on Google TV recently; the main factor in this is reportedly because Google is working on a software update to make the platform more usable to the general public. M....

Video: Intel Shows Off a Cr-48 at CES

Intel sure is excited about being able to show off this Cr-48 at CES. The initial commercial release of Chrome OS will be with Intel Atom processors, although the platform will also be supporting ARM as well. One of the things that the rep touts in the video is the eight hour battery life. Has anyone’s battery actually lasted that long? Mine hasn’t. Share/Bookmark
