The Chromebook is now officially 2 years old, with the original model CR-48 officially long-in-the-tooth and left behind. After the initially testing period of the CR-48, Samsung and Acer have made their best, and different efforts at selling the platform for outrageously low prices. Since the release of Samsung and Acer’s latest Chromebooks, the Samsung model we reported on late last year is now the best selling laptop on Amazon.com, the world’s largest online retailer.

So, with such success, why would Google needs to add any credibility to their already successful niche computing platform? Business, that’s why. And Lenovo is prepared to deliver savvy business folk what their hearts truly desire; a Thinkpad.
