Another wave of laptop computers running on Google’s Chrome operating system will be hitting stores this summer in the latest challenge to Microsoft’s dominant Windows franchise. The latest line of Chromebooks unveiled Tuesday run on a new generation of faster Intel microprocessors that don’t devour as much battery power. The widening selection of Chromebooks reflects the building momentum for Google Inc.’s attempt to create a compelling alternative to Windows-powered machines and Apple Inc.’s Mac computers. Intel Corp. and all the PC makers embracing Chromebooks also are longtime Microsoft Corp. partners that helped make Windows so influential and lucrative during the past two decades.
