Chrome OS rumour mill in action

Google's Chrome OS-based laptops are expected in mid-2011 but many can't wait

I think it will be a bit expensive to own such laptop, especially if it relies on the Internet. Unless you have uncapped offcourse.

NEVER, EVER buy the first release of a new operating system! Wait a few months until all the teething problems are resolved.

This isn't a Microsoft OS

Depends, early adopters, like myself, don't mind bugs and hiccups. Part of the fun. But in general, I will give the same advice you did to my parents and the in laws.

It's basically freaking Chrome. That's it. I don't think it will be unstable or anything. I wonder how compelling it will be though. Why not just get any laptop and install Chrome?

It's unfortunate that this kind of device is impractical in the South African market

Based on Gmail, I wonder how long Chrome OS will remain in Beta?
