where you already spend most of your computing time.
So you get a faster, simpler and more secure experience
without all the headaches of ordinary computers.

Google Chrome OS is basically a cloud operating system.

 CLOUD COMPUTING
Computing as a “utility” rather than a product

Refers to the provision of computational

resources on demand via a computer network.

User computer may contain almost no data or

software.

Users don’t log on the server, but the service

Technically:
Cloud computing is a model for
enabling convenient, on-demand network access
to a shared pool of configurable computing
resources that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or
service provider interaction.

 Design Goals
 User Interface
 Minimal screen space by combining applications and standard
web pages into a single tab strip
 Secondary tasks would be handled with "panels“: windows
that dock to the bottom of the screen

 Hardware Support
 intended for secondary devices like netbooks
 not as a user's primary PC
 will run on hardware incorporating an x86 or ARM-based processor.
 Google Chrome OS consumes one-sixtieth as much drive space as Windows 7.
Design Goals (Contd…)

 Remote Application Access

 A technology unofficially called "Chromoting“
 Resemble Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection
 Running an application via Terminal Services or by first connecting to a host
machine: Remoting

• Linux shell access

 Crosh: The Chrome Shell :A Bash-like shell with minimal functionality
 In developer’s mode a full featured shell can be opened
 Design Goals (Contd…)

 Printing
 Google Cloud Print: Help any application on any device to print on any printer.
 the cloud service would entail installing a piece of software, called a proxy, as part of
Chrome OS.
 The proxy would register the printer with the service, manage the print jobs, provide the
printer driver functionality, and give status alerts for each job.
 Design Goals (Contd…)
 Link Handling
 Unresolved design problem: how Web applications handle specific link types.
 i.e.Which website or Web application should be invoked when a particular file type is
clicked (eg. .doc,.jpeg,etc).
• Security
 auto-updating and sandbox features that will reduce malware exposure
 initial boot code, stored in read-only memory, checks for system compromises
 physical switch under the battery compartment that actuates a developer mode.

• Integrated Media player

 To play back MP3s, view JPEGs, and handle other multimedia files while OFFLINE.
Features
 The Cr-48 NoteBook

•Fast start-up and performance

Start your notebook and get to the Internet in about 10 seconds. Once you sign in on your Chrome notebook, you're
instantly on the web.

•Constant connectivity
Because a Chrome notebook without the Internet isn't all that useful, its easy for you to stay online using Wi-Fi or 3G from
the Verizon Wireless Network (U.S. only).
To make sure that you get the latest features and security fixes, your Chrome notebook automatically updates whenever it
detects that a new system version is available.

•Built-in security
Our security features help prevent malware or viruses from accessing your data. If a webpage misbehaves, it won't bring
down your other tabs or break your notebook.

•Everything is stored online

Since everything is done online, you'll always have access to your data, no matter what computer you're using. All your
bookmarks, apps, extensions, and web settings can be saved to your Google Account, using the  sync feature.

•Access to the Chrome Web Store

The store features a wide range of apps, extensions, and themes for the browser. Many web applications are capable of
functionality that you expect from traditional desktop software on an ordinary computer.
 Logic Behind the name “Cr-48”

The Notebook got the name "Cr-48" from the isotope of chromium metal.
