After prematurely announcing [arstechnica.com] that Steam on Chromebooks was ready for testing last week, Google is making the release official today. The alpha version of Steam on Chrome OS is currently available in the Chrome OS 14583.0.0 [chromium.org] Dev channel, as announced via a post [google.com] in Google's Chrome Developers Community.

Not all Chromebooks will be able to run Steam, however.
[...]
These requirements limit Steam on Chrome OS to the pricier tier of Chromebooks. You can currently find HP's G2 Chromebook for $849 [hp.com] and Acer's Chromebook 514 for $780 [amazon.com] or its Chromebook 515 for $772 [cdw.com].
