Acer is planning to unveil a line of devices based on Google's Chrome operating system at the Computex conference in Taipei next month.
News site VentureBeat cited unnamed sources in reporting that Acer will roll out multiple devices, most likely to be netbooks.
Google introduced Chrome last year as an open-source platform highlighting compatibility and security, but it has recently been overshadowed by the growing reach of Google's Android operating system.
The market for netbooks and portable tablets has been heating up. Apple has dominated the headlines this year with its iPad tablet, while vendors such as Archos, Google and Microsoft have plans to take on Apple with devices of their own.
Most recently, V3.co.uk sister site The Inquirer reported that Asus is developing a netbook which could dock with smartphones and share a 3G broadband connection.
