Dell Is Working On Google Chrome OS Netbooks [Almost Confirmed]


A Dell executive all but came out today and confirmed that the company is in the process of developing netbooks based off Google’s cloud centric Chrome OS.

Dell’s president for Greater China and South Asia, Amit Midha spoke with Reuters and said:

“with Chrome or Android or anything like that we want to be one of the leaders.”

It’s safe to say that in order to be a leader you need to already be working with Google in the area of Chrome OS as various other companies are already doing.

Midha continued:

“There are going to be unique innovations coming up in the marketplace in two, three years, with a new form of computing,” adding “[and] we want to be on that forefront.”

With Dell already offering the Dell Mini 3 (AT&T Aero) with Google Android, it makes sense that they would take this next logical step.

The price for Google Chrome OS netbooks are expected to sit around $300 to $400 and release this fall, no word yet if Dell will be part of that initial launch, but I’m pointing to yes.
