The Chromebook will not have a hard drive and they function like terminals dependent on an Internet connection while two USB ports to connect external hard drives and other devices.

It also features a 12.1-inch, SuperBright LCD screen, an optional built-in 3G wireless feature from Verizon Wireless and a built-in webcam.
Google Product Management director Caesar Sengupta said, "This next-generation hardware from Samsung based on Intel processors and hardware-accelerated software delivers nearly three times the performance of the first-generation Chromebooks."
