Google's recently announced Chromebook looks to be a whole heap of cloud-related fun, bringing ultra fast boot times and browsing to the portable computing market - well that's the plan.

And as such you may be interested in where you'll be able to get your mits on one come its 24 June UK debut - well PC World are keen to tell you that it has the exclusive - on the highstreet anyway. If you're more of a fan of shopping online then you can always go the Amazon route, however some people still prefer to look the salesman in the eye.

Although we know there are two models touted, an Acer and Samsung, PC World hasn't yet confirmed whether it will be selling just one or both, however we know that Sammy's version should come in around the £400 mark for the 3G and Wi-Fi version.

Sammy's Series 5 Chromebook packs an Intel N570 1.66GHz Dual Core processor, 2GB RAM and a 16GB hard drive for those “not in the cloud” moments. It will weigh 1.34Kg.

You can register your interest in the Chromebook here, which will give you priority when the devices hit the shelves.

Specific PC World pricing and release dates are still yet to be announced.
