PanARMENIAN.Net - Google is to release a new low-price Samsung Chromebook, according to Digital Spy.

Sundar Pichai, senior vice president in charge of Chrome and Google Apps, announced the product in a special blog post on Thursday (October 18), in which he dubbed the Samsung Chromebook as a "computer for everyone".

The new 11.6-inch Chromebook has been priced at $249, a significant decrease from the cost of the Series 5 550 Chromebook and the Series 3 Chromebox.

Pichai said that products such as Gmail, Drive, Search, Maps, YouTube, Play or Google+ Hangouts will run "seamlessly" on the new Samsung Chromebook.

The latest model also weights 2.5lbs less than previous models and is just 0.8 inches thick.

Google's Samsung Chromebook will be available next week at 500 Best Buy locations across the US and 30 PC World and Currys locations in the UK, as well as at the Google Play store and other online retailers.
