Online reports claim that this product can make an appearance at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show 2006 in Las Vegas.

Other reports claim that the company has been in talks with the retailing giant Wal-Mart to market this product throughout the United States before they start thinking about expanding the availability to worldwide consumers. Experts in the field believe that Google needs a way to get the people on the net who cannot afford to pay for expensive hardware and proprietary software products to surf the net. And this customized PC would help them target these audience to get online and use Google specific services.
