Google has unveiled the first laptops that will run on its Chrome operating system. The machines, made by Acer and Samsung, will go on sale next month. Unlike conventional computer systems which use installed software like Microsoft Word, Chrome is built around web-based applications such as Google Docs. Some analysts have questioned whether users will want laptops that rely so heavily on an internet connection. However, Google co-founder Sergey Brin, hailed the technology as a “new model of computing”.
