Our expectation on Gilt to be the first place to offer Samsung’s new Chromebook. Google now sending out emails like the one above to at least some folks that signed up to be a part of the Cr-48 pilot program, telling them that they can join a “limited time” sale on the high-end discount site starting today, June 1st. Checkout the Specification of Samsung Chromebook bellow.
Key Specifications:
* Processor: 1.66 GHz Intel Atom dual-core N570 processor
* Storage: 16 GB solid-state drive (SSD)
* System Memory: 2 GB
* Communications: Wireless-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n)
* Ports: Two USB 2.0, 4-in-1 memory card reader (SD, SDHC, SDXC, MMC)
* Video out: VGA (via optional dongle)
* Audio: Built-in stereo speakers, combo headphone/microphone jack
* Battery: 6-cell battery for up to 8.5 hours of use
* Webcam: 1-megapixel
In true Gilt fashion, the Chromebook (otherwise known as the Samsung Series 5) will also come paired with a “limited edition” sleeve designed by Rickshaw. Unfortunately, “limited” seems to be the keyword here — the sale is only open to those that have received the email, and it’s not clear how many Chromebooks are actually available.
Update: And they’re all gone, but there is a wait list if you want to hang onto some hope of getting one before the official launch on June 15th.
