Google has recently announced its first foray into the world of computer hardware.

They are planning to launch the CR-48 chrome notebook to support the browser-based Chrome operating system. The notebook comes in matte black and will run on an atom processor with a 12-inch display and full-size keyboard.

The device, which is only due for launch at the end of 2011, is set to weigh about 1.7kgs and last eights hours on a single battery.
