Cracking Open the Samsung Series 5 Chromebook

At Google I/O 2011, the company unveiled the first two commercially available Chromebooks– the Samsung Series 5 and a machine from Acer. Starting June 15, consumers and businesses can purchase a Chromebook for under $500. Businesses can also rent them for $28/month per user through Google’s Chromebooks for Business program. We got our hands on the Samsung Series 5 early, and I couldn't resist cracking it open.
