Intel and Google showed off the next generation of Chromebooks from Hewlett-Packard, Acer and Toshiba, which will be faster and more power-efficient than predecessors.
The new Chromebooks will run on Intel's latest Haswell processors and be available during the holiday season this year, according to Doug Fisher, vice president of the software and services group at Intel.
Running on Google's Chrome OS, the Chromebooks will offer 50 percent more battery life and be 15 percent faster than models available today, Fisher said during a keynote at the Intel Developer Forum on Wednesday.
Asus, Lenovo and Hewlett-Packard currently offer Chromebooks based on Intel's older Celeron chips, while Samsung has a Chromebook running on an ARM processor.
