Meet the $199 Google Computer
There has been talk about Google possibly entering the PC market with a very competitively priced computer for some time now. This is not the official Google computer but this PC from Everex, which has been dubbed the Google computer by Andy Beal, runs Linux gOS and is optimized for Google products.
It comes bundled with great alternatives to the usually high priced computer software. Instead of Microsoft Office, it has the Open Office software suite. Instead of Windows XP or Vista, it has Linux gOS installed for free.
