As per IBTimes, Google Chrome OS netbook will incorporate Nvidia Tegra platfrom, possibly Tegra 2 expected next year, and ARM design CPU. The Chrome OS is x86 architecture compatible but will support virtualization only on select devices. Furthermore, this Chrome OS netbook will sport 10.1 inch TFT Multi-touch display that would be HD ready. Yes, you read it right that the netbook will support multi-touch.

For storage, 64GB SSD would be offered and rest will be relied on Cloud-based storage which the user will have to choose, obviously. Packing 2GB RAM, the other features include Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, USB ports, Ethernet port, integrated webcam, audio port (3.5mm), multimedia card reader, etc.

This netbook is rumored arrive in holiday 2010 season at a subsidized price of $300 (Rs. 14,400 approx.) in U.S. It’s possible that Acer would be the first one to roll out this netbook after their bold claims. Nevertheless, at the subsidized pricing, the rumored netbook features sound too good to be true.

But what’s so special about Chrome OS? The Google blog mentions three aspects that distinguish it from other operating systems:

First, it’s all about the web. All apps are web apps. The entire experience takes place within the browser and there are no conventional desktop applications. This means users do not have to deal with installing, managing and updating programs.

This means that Chrome OS is storing all data in the cloud. Many web applications handle data in this fashion already, think about Gmail, blogs or photo hosting websites for example. Privacy advocates on the other hand might find this problematic depending on the privacy and security regulations.

Second, because all apps live within the browser, there are significant benefits to security. Unlike traditional operating systems, Chrome OS doesn’t trust the applications you run. Each app is contained within a security sandbox making it harder for malware and viruses to infect your computer. Furthermore, Chrome OS barely trusts itself. Every time you restart your computer the operating system verifies the integrity of its code. If your system has been compromised, it is designed to fix itself with a reboot. While no computer can be made completely secure, we’re going to make life much harder (and less profitable) for the bad guys. If you dig security, read the Chrome OS Security Overview or watch the video.

Chrome OS implements some security features like sandboxing to secure the operating system and data from taking harm. The operating system is also checking its code on every startup to verify the integrity. Would be interesting to know how this affects boot time. Most of this is already available in today’s operating systems or by using third party software like Sandboxie.

Most of all, we are obsessed with speed. We are taking out every unnecessary process, optimizing many operations and running everything possible in parallel. This means you can go from turning on the computer to surfing the web in a few seconds. Our obsession with speed goes all the way down to the metal. We are specifying reference hardware components to create the fastest experience for Google Chrome OS.

This does sound interesting but there are already other options to boot a computer in a significantly lower time than today’s average.
