Apart from being a total rip off of the MacBook Air down to its black rounded keys, trackpad and the recess right where the lid opens, know that this Chromebook is a quarter of the Air’s asking price and half the iPad’s. On paper, the machine is a must-have: it weighs in at only 2.43 pounds, is 0.8-inches thick, runs 6.5+ hours battery and rocks a 11.6-inch display at a 1,366-by-768 pixel resolution.
Per usual, there are some caveats that a flashy commercial (included below) fails to mention…
The machine (via Endgadget) is built by Samsung and runs the Chrome OS on Samsung’s dual-core Exynos 5 chip which incorporates ARM’s Cortex-A15 CPU. Its firepower also stems from 2GB RAM, built-in WiFi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0 and sixteen gigabytes of flash storage.
