How much will Google Chrome OS tablets and netbooks cost?

Q. Hey does anyone know how much a Google Chrome OS Netbook or tablet PC cost? I need a rough estimate so I can save up enough money. Also how long do you think until they will be out and available, I know Google Chrome OS is due to be finished and official released later this year, but will a tablet already be available ?

A. The price is going to depend on the hardware. Maybe $50-$100 less than their Windows 7 counterpart.

I've seen some Chinese made Android/Chrome tablets that are being marketed for under $100 in domestic stores, which means that they will be maybe $200 if they get to the US due to tax and company markups.

I've also seen some Android/Chrome tablets that have an estimated price of over $700, but less if you take out a data contract.

Some tablets are on sale right now, mostly only in Asia. So the hardware will be ready in the US by the sumer this year, and most certainly in time for the holiday sales in fall/winter.

At best guess, aim to save $500. That will but you an iPad. Everybody is aiming to either undercut the iPad in terms of price, or to beat it in terms of performance, so if you can afford an iPad then you will be able to afford the competition, too.

If my boyfriend already has an android phone, would getting him an android tablet for Christmas be silly?
Q. I have no ideas of what to get that boy. So if you have ideas shoot 'em my way. I am hoping to stay between $100-$200.


He owns every video game he could ever want, because he works at gamestop.

A. Nope, definitely not. Guys love tech and if he likes his Android phone, he certainly would love an Android tablet. The phone would be used when he's not at home, tablet would be used when he's chilling at home. I have both and like using them in different ways. And if you do get him a tablet for Christmas, make sure to put this Christmas HD Live Wallpaper on it (works on phones and tablets): http://www.smartkeitai.com/christmas-hd-live-wallpaper-for-android-video-review/

The only thing I'm worried about is you said you're hoping to stay in the $200 range... Unless you're getting it used or at a black friday sale, I don't recommend getting an Android tablet unless it's $350 or more. Look for something that runs Android 3.0 or higher and has a 1GHz dual-core processor or higher. Otherwise the software will be outdated and the hardware will be too weak to run things smoothly. For lower-end tablets that still offer good usage, try the Kindle Fire or new Nook tablet. Good luck!

Q. I want to buy GTA 3 on the Android market because its on sale for only 99 cents, but it won't let me because my phone doesn't meet requirements. Problem is, I just bought a tablet online and I'd be using that, but its not here yet. Is there a way to buy it so I can install it on my tablet when it gets here?
