Google and Samsung have announced a new Chromebook today, their cheapest yet.

The new Chromebook will cost just $249 and feature an 11.6-inch display, a 16GB SSD and 2GB RAM while weighing 2.4 pounds.

Samsung's latest will be powered by a 1.7 GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 chip.

If you need 3G on the run, the cellular data supportive model will cost $329.

Chrome OS, which is cloud-based, has been improving significantly over the years. Take a look at our review of OS 21 here: Chrome OS Review

Wow Samsung is just begging for another Apple lawsuit with the design of this thing. Looking at the picture of the laptop while it's open, one would think it was a Macbook Air if not for the Samsung letters beneath the screen.
