SAMSUNG CHROME OS NOTEBOOK COULD BE CALLED ALEX

Details regarding a new Samsung Chrome-OS based notebook have leaked. Here is what we know at the moment.

It looks like this model will be called Samsung Alex. It will be powered by a 1.5GHz Intel Atom N550 dual core processor and will have a 1280 x 800 pixels display. Other rumored specs include a Qualcomm Gobi 2000 wireless module for Bluetooth, WiFi, and 3G.

Samsung Alex is likely to have 2GB of RAM, a SanDisk SSD, a Namuga webcam and Synaptics Touchpad. The notebook also seems to have USB ports, a VGA output port and a flash card reader among others.

The Google Chrome OS is a lightweight operating system designed around a web browser. It can only run web-based applications. That means this notebook will not be able to run native desktop applications.
