The first generation Google Chromebooks featured Intel Atom N570 dual-core processor (1.66GHz) and were priced above similarly specced Windows 7 machines. Now word on internet has it Google is planning to upgrade its Chromebooks with Intel Core family of processors and will push their price above $500.
Reportedly, Google is working with Intel to adopt latter's Core i-series processors to boost system performance and security of its "cloud-computing" Chromebooks. We understand that Intel has given nod to the project and has shown interest by giving discount of 10-20%.
Another new thing we have learned that Asus will joining Samsung and Acer in developing second generation Chromebook.
The only thing to be seen now is that whether Chromebook manages to find a niche market in cloud computing or not. Because the way things stand it has almost zero chance of creating a respectable position in consumer market because of the dominance of Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS.
