While many details about Samsung’s 10.1-inch Alex Chrome OS netbook are still unconfirmed, a few other  laptops, running Google’s latest and greatest Chrome OS platform, are breaking a cover nowadays. For instance, Sammy’s 12.1-inch Series 5 ChromeBook device, which boasts an ultra-slim 0.79-inch chassis atop, along with 16GB of storage (mSATA solid state drive) and a dual-core 1.66GHz Intel Atom N570 processor on board. There’s also a 802.11 WiFi and 3G connectivity bundled inside, together with an HD webcam, two USB 2.0 ports, a 12.1-inch, 1280 x 800 display and battery pack, delivering up to 8.5 hours of continuous work. Hopefully all of you will be able to get one from Amazon and Best Buy from June 15th and on, while prices start at just $429 for the WiFi-only version and jump to $499 in case you’d like to nab yourself the 3G-enabled flavor instead. Full PR after the break.

Update: Apparently, the guys over at Engadget have been fortunate enough to get their hands on a brand new Samsung ChromeBook device at Google’s I/O 2011 event, and luckily they’ve shared those moments on a nice 3:44 minutes video. check it out after the break.
