Kogan, an Australian company, announced the launch of notebook Kogan Now that will be equipped with Chromium OS, and should begin shipping this week. The notebook has 11.6 inch LED display (with resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. It features a 1.3 GHz Celeron processor, 1GB of RAM - supports up to 4GB - memory and a 30GB SSD.
In addition, Kogan has a sound with HD audio and two speakers, microphone, memory card SD / MMC / MS PRO, 3 USB ports and a 1.3 megapixel webcam. This notebook will be the first of many products Chromium OS that'll soon see. several traditional notebooks.
If you compare now with Acer Chromebook Wi-Fi, which is also priced at $ 349, I do not see this device as being a good choice for fans of Chrome. Because it has approximately 3.5 hours of battery life, something that is not a very big attraction for anyone.
Google calls Chrome notebooks with OS Chromebooks. But can we give the same name for notebooks with Chromium OS? Well, no one stood about it soon, probably find out.
However, some say they should not be called Chromebooks because they have no keyboard in the style of Google. The keyboard is the standard Kogan Now, with the caps lock and all other keys of the traditional keyboards.
