Google unveils Chrome-OS powered notebooks at Google I/O event in San Francisco on Wednesday. Chromebooks will be available online June 15 in seven countries (U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy and Spain). Chromebook is expected in India and in other countries later this year.

In the U.S., Chromebooks will be available from Amazon and Best Buy and internationally from leading retailers.

These are not typical notebooks. With a Chromebook you won’t wait minutes for your computer to boot and browser to start. You’ll be reading your email in seconds. Thanks to automatic updates the software on your Chromebook will get faster over time. Your apps, games, photos, music, movies and documents will be accessible wherever you are and you won’t need to worry about losing your computer or forgetting to back up files. Chromebooks will last a day of use on a single charge, so you don’t need to carry a power cord everywhere. And with optional 3G, just like your phone, you’ll have the web when you need it.”
