Those Google Chrome OS netbook rumours look bang on the money. The Google-branded models have reportedly been spotted in testing logs from October onwards. The latest story is that Google Chrome OS test machines have ranged from Asus Eee models to Lenovo and Dell builds (you can see the manufacturer in bug reports) but there are “dogfood” machines i.e. Google own-brand devices…

The Google Chrome OS netbook models are running under the codenames “Mario” and “Andretti”, a cheeky reference to the Indy 500 legend and to Google’s claim that Chrome OS will be lightning fast. Another nice touch? The Chrome OS version in use on Mario and Andretti machines is called Indy.

Hit the comments and tell us: are you looking forward to Chrome OS netbooks? Will you snap one up?

    I am always on the look out for new things in technology thus I am looking forward to try this Chrome OS. If Google is saying it is fast then it should be fast but wait till people got hold of it and compare it with current OS in the market.
