Leading the way in the netbook market, Asus has decided to embark on a new future within the next 3 months. Although the tablets have in some way, replaced the netbook and inflicted a severe blow to the category, the market for mini-notebooks may have a second chance. According to trade magazine circulated by Digitimes, the rebirth of the netbook could be achieved through a drastic price cuts on marketing and launching new models with the future of Google Chrome the operating system OS.

From some sources show that the Taiwanese manufacturer is preparing to sell since the month of June a new series of mini-notebook 200 to $ 250. Costs are deliberately low to avoid any form of competition, both from the netbook by both tablet cheaper. In addition to a single core Intel Atom processor, cut the final price will be guaranteed by the adoption of the operating system Chrome and Android OS 3.0.

Sundar Pichai, vice president at Google, announced a few months ago that the first netbook with Chrome OS would come in the first half. The integration of the Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) will therefore remain restricted to the segment of the tablet. HP, Lenovo and Toshiba have also signed an agreement with Google Chrome for OS install on their devices. Remember that this OS is based on the Chrome browser and the Linux kernel.
