The Samsung machine replaces installed software with browser-based apps which store files online.
Google claims that the technology enables a new way of computing, removing the need for features such as anti-virus software or optical drives.
However, many applications available for Windows, Mac and Linux do not yet exist for Chrome.
The Chromebook is available in WiFi only and WiFi and 3G models for $429 (£266) and $499 (£310) respectively.
It is expected to sell for between £349 and £399 when launched in the UK in August.
A second Chromebook, made by Acer is due to start shipping soon.
