The Chromebooks are coming! New models due late 2013
Will battle head to head with Android notebooks
By Neil McAllister in San Francisco, 30th April 2013

While sales of Windows PCs and notebooks continue to disappoint, Acer, Asus, and other hardware makers are readying a new volley of Chromebooks to launch in the second half of 2013, sources close to the companies' Asia-based supply chains claim.
According to a report in Taiwanese tech pub DigiTimes, the new push will be accompanied by a marketing campaign from Google, which is expected to "aggressively promote" the platform in the coming months.

The online giant sparked fresh interest in Chrome OS devices in February when it unveiled the Chromebook Pixel, an own-branded model that shipped with tony hardware specs, including an ultra-high resolution 2560-by-1700 pixel touchscreen. There's little to suggest that this will be the route taken by the other hardware makers, however, which so far have confined their Chromebook efforts to low-end models at cheap prices.

The king of the rock-bottom Chromebooks so far has been Acer, which undercut the competition late last year with a Celeron-powered model that featured a 320GB hard drive for just $199.
