Google Chrome Netbook Specs Leaked [Google's Own Netbook Specs Leaked, 2GB RAM, SSD Storage, 10" Display]

Search giant Google has been making waves lately in the hardware market, where they previously had never step foot. First, the Nexus One (aka Google Phone) was revealed earlier this month, and now, specs have leaked of an upcoming ‘Google Netbook’. The netbook will run the new Chrome OS, and will feature GPS and a SSD drive.

This leak corresponds with an earlier rumor that TFTS reported on that Google was looking for a manufacturer of netbooks. According to the leak, the Google Netbook will feature an ARM CPU and NVIDIA Tegra graphics processing. It’s reported to be have a 10-inch touchscreen display that is capable of multi-touch, and will be “HD ready”, which one assumes will mean the netbook will be able to play 720p HD video.

Other specs of the netbook include 2GB of RAM and a 64GB SSD drive (which should add $300 to the price right there). The netbook will have WiFi, 3G and Bluetooth connectivity, as well as a GPS receiver. Of course, it’ll be running Google’s new Chrome OS.

Rumors persist that the netbook will be launched in the 2010 holiday season, and the cost will be heavily subsidized by Google, as they’ll try to keep the price below $300. Rumors of a contract with a cell phone provider have also come up. Paying less than $300 for a netbook with a SSD drive and 2GB of RAM would be a deal – or as the UK Business News article on the netbook said “it’s like getting a Ferrari for the price of a Mini Cooper”.
