The age of netbooks!

The new age of net-books!

Earlier was the age when we used to use the large bulky PCs with heavy monitors which was later replaced by modern computers having a smart TFT display,which later came to laptops and now we have net-books.

Net-books are light-weight,small,devices that are creating the buzz in today’s digital market.Now in somewhere about  May11 Google released its Chromebook powered by Google Chrome operating system which is supposed to be first totally cloud based operating system.

Also Google released the source code as Chromium OS project-an open source initiative.Some of features of Chrome OS are

A SIMPLE USER INTERFACE: Now Google designed Chrome OS making its UI as simple and as streamlined as possible and making it somewhat similar to chrome browser.So we can just start using the OS with no worries 🙂

THE SPEED of chrome OS is the strong point which beats all .It boots very fast almost in 8-9 sec and you can start working on it.It automatically updates with connection to internet.But I personally like its SECURITY features.It uses the Defense-in-Depth approach with a verified boot,data-encryption.

In verified Boot each section of the operating system is booted one after other.Verified boot starts with a read-only portion of firmware, which only executes the next chunk of boot code after verification .Verified boot strives to ensure that all executed code comes from the Chromium OS source tree, rather than from an attacker or corruption.

So minimized threats from attacks,malwares, and no problems and hiccup of antivirus.For more information on verified boot click here.With inbuilt Connectivity by Wi-fi and 3G make it flexible to be connected to world anywhere and anytime.Also any app that you would write for the web can be a Chrome app.Thousand of apps can be available from Chrome Web Store.So enjoy variety of apps at doorstep !

So I feel Chrome OS and Chromebooks have really revolutionized the market and changed our view of computing !
