I am wondering if anyone knows of Sony's plans to release a Sony VAIO Chromebook ?

I think this would be the top-selling Chromebook and would really help both Sony and Google. Sony could get back some of the sales they have lost by bringing a new lower cost platform onboard.... and Google would have a trusted, reliable hardware manufacturer.

What do you guys think?

I mean the combination has promise, and certainly both Sony and El Goog would benefit, but Sony isn't going in the history books for using open technologies, so I'm not sure if it would even hit their radar.

I highly doubt Sony will jump in on this unless they know they will make a ton of profit on it. Sony and open source dont really go hand in hand. Sony is more known for using proprietary technology.

That said, Sony has capitalized on the Android OS, so if Chrome becomes popular they will try to dabble in it I am sure.

It took sony a few years to jump onto the Android OS Band Wagon after they realized their OS simply sucked, and threw on a better more developed platform. As far as chrome sony does sell a lot of high end products, but i believe their ties with Microsoft are strong on this one.

Probably are, Windows numbers will have to fall hard for Sony to convert.

I don't see it, Sony tries to go after the Apple crowd with pretty design and intense graphics, that is not what the Chromebook is about at all!

I would love to see a Chromebook version of the VAIO P. The original was crippled by Vista, as well as the price. But I do think the form had real promise as a netbook, and would make a great portable Chromebook.

Sony Vaio? Are you serious? That would cost a fortune! I won't pay 700$ To a laptop that running Chrome OS no thatnks. Vaios generally cost hundreds of dollars and they are so sensitive

 

[geekyass]

Sensitive as in break easy? I've never used one.

 

[jwr]

i mean they are spoiled very easily and they need repair afterwards and if your warranty is expired then you will have to pay a lot of money

Don't forget the Google TV - Sony's got a relationship with Google there.

Also, Sony Insider seems to say there will be a ChromeOS VAIO coming soon.

That is a little confusing. There is no actual mention of a Chromebook or Chromebox, just a VAIO with the Chrome OS. There are some specs, but it still why didn't they just say a Sony VAIO Google Chromebook?

I think that must just be a rumor. I mean we are pretty deep in to summer already and I have not heard any official news about that. Maybe a Sony Chromebook will be out for Christmas.

I like my Playstation alright, but after the whole security think I don't think I would trust them as my computer manufacturer, not even for a Chromebook. Anyone here have a Sony computer?

Thank you, I think this Sony Ericsson mobile phone case is very good, very smooth and very upscale look to the first vision, to ensure comfortable, not easily deformed, to avoid the loss of features to let everyone likes

There was a blurb last year on CNET about Sony releasing a Chromebook. I would like to see as many manufactures releasing a Chromebook as possible.
