Yes, Its a Google Laptop!

Google unveiled its first Chrome OS laptop, the “Cr-48”, which will initially be distributed to a limited number of users through its Chrome OS pilot program.  Users must apply to join the beta program to get a chance to use the first Chrome OS netbook, but the rest us will have to wait until the middle of 2011, when Samsung and Acer models will be available. Google has also launched a small number of promotions to give away the devices so business or individuals, but there is currently no way to pay cash to get one.

Google’s first Chrome OS laptop, the Cr-48, uses flash storage and an Intel Pine Trail processor, has a Qualcomm Gobi 3G chip for Verizon data (choice of international carrier), and comes with 100 MB of free Verizon data.  The computer’s full size keyboard has a row of Apple Keyboard style action keys instead of function keys, an oversize clickpad, 12.1 inch screen, and webcam. The Cr-48 has 802.11n dual-band WiFi, and provides eight plus hours of active use and over eight days of stand-by use. The Cr-48 keyboard also does away with the caps lock key, replacing it with a search button.  Cr-48 refers to chromium. Google’s first Chrome OS has no branding, logo or showy designs, and comes in only black
