Discovered this morning, a code.google.com page has shown off Samsung's upcoming "Alex" Chrome OS netbook.
The netbook is expected to be revealed at the upcoming I/O conference next month.

If accurate, the page says the device will have a 1280x800 resolution, a dual -core 1.5 GHz Atom N550 processor, 2GB RAM, a SanDisk P4 SSD and a Qualcomm Gobi 3G modem, Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, a built-in webcam, a card reader, USB ports, and a D-Sub outputs.

Other Chrome OS hardware, from Acer and other partners, could also be unveiled at the conference.



As stands, the "Alex" has similar specs to the Cr-48 Google Chrome Book, which was sent out to over 50,000 beta testers starting in December, including AfterDawn.
