Sony Insider published details about three upcoming Sony VAIO laptops, including a Thunderbolt notebook, and a Chrome OS system. Here are the specs of the latter one:
As Google is prepping its Chrome OS debut, Sony is hard at work to bring you their first VAIO pimped up in Google’s OS of course. Expect to see the following hardware specifications of this new PC:

* Nvidia Tegra 2 (250) platform
* 11.6″ (1366×768) LCD display
* 1 GB of Memory
* 16 GB eMMC (electronic multimedia card)
* Ultra-low power GeForce GPU
* Wireless WAN
* Wide Keyboard (18mm) will be pretty similar to the Google Chrome Cr-48 laptop keyboard
* Dimensions: less than an inch thick at around 19.9 mm; width is at 11.7″ (298 mm) and it is 21.5 cm (8.46″ deep
* It should weigh around 2.2 lb (or 1kg)
* 8 hour battery life

Features like Bluetooth and GPS will be enabled later on, so don’t expect those two right at launch in summer of 2011.
