Dow Jones News
Google Inc. (GOOG) on Thursday unveiled a $249 laptop powered by
its Chrome operating system and built by Samsung Electronics Co.
(SSNHY, 005930.SE), as the Internet company hopes to jumpstart
sales of Chrome-based devices.
The Google-based laptops are designed primarily to run Web-based
applications, including word-processing and games, as Google hopes
to shift software development away from applications anchored to PC
operating systems such as Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) Windows.
The company Thursday will begin to market the Samsung device in
the U.S. through TV ads, and it said the device would be available
for sale online through Amazon.com and other sites as well as
through 500 Best Buy Co. (BBY) retail stores.
