Google chart shows which netbooks run Chrome OS best

  • Tweet

chrpome-sdfasf

You can’t run out and buy a machine with Google Chrome OS just yet – and you wouldn’t want to anyway, since it’s still in the very, very early stages of development. Still, if you’re anxious to try Chrome OS out but aren’t into compiling source code and tinkering in a Linux terminal window Google has posted a chart that may be of interest to you.

The chart details which systems have been “officially” tested by developers and reveals what hardware works and what doesn’t. Several models are listed, but I’ve simplified things a bit. Listed below are models on which everything works – 802.11 wireless, ethernet, touchpad, and suspend/resume.

  • Acer AOD250*
  • Acer AOP531h*
  • ASUS Eee PC 1008HA
  • ASUS Eee PC 900
  • ASUS Eee PC 701
  • Gateway LT2000*
  • Toshiba Satellite A205-S5000 (15.4″, you can score one for about $350 on eBay)

* these models ship with both Atheros and Broadcom 802.11 adapters. The Atheros works out-of-the-box with Chrome OS, Broadcom does not.

Check the full chart at the Chromium developer site.

    I see the Asus EeePC 700 is on the list. Anyone know where I can download a compiled image suitable for an EeePC 701SD?

    I like how its an advertisement for a eBay seller's page, which is what 'most people' know is not what you're supposed to post on most forums and blogs. And by 'like' I mean 'loathe' and by 'most people' I mean 'decent honest people'.
