On: New $250 Chromebook

[TomAnthony]

I'm very confused! They say it starts at $249, but the 550 is at $449. What is the model number of the new one here?

It links to this PC WOrld page for the UK model which just confuses me further: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/chromebook-1460-commercial.htm...

I was interested in buying, but I'm totally confused. Wikipedia also just lists the 550 model as the one released now, and has nothing matching the spec in the Google post.

Anyone worked it out? Sorry if I've missed something...

This is the $249 one here:

£229 or £249 in-store. Bananas.

It says preorders don't start until noon PT, so another 50 minutes from now. Maybe they are not even listing it until then.

Yeah, I can't work out if PC World even have it listed? It doesn't seem to have a model number, it's just Samsung Chromebook, which doesn't really help!

I'm pretty sure it's this one:

But it's 300 GBP, or 484 USD (excluding shipping), almost twice the price advertised!
