About six weeks ago I signed up for beta testing on the new Google Chrome notebook.......never thinking I would be selected.....well damn it came today.

Re: Google Chrome Notebook - Cr-48

The concept is what I love, my Windows XP PC takes a good ten minutes to boot up, I hate it, Cr-48 wants to do away with all that, it's an application based OS......no boot up , apps.....if like most people you use a computer for the internet then this is perfect.
.
The notebook it self is sleek , small but powerful.the keyboard is different too, takes some getting used to , when I set it up I sign in with my Google account and all my google stuff is synced , very cool right?


If you are a Google Chrome user then you would love this.Think Apps , loving it.






if the CPF doesn't load I'm sending it back

Re: Google Chrome Notebook - Cr-48

Do you get to keep it? How much beta participation is there,
or does google just know what you're doing with it? They know
everything else lol.

I get to keep it yes, there is a feedback button up top next to the tool bar thing, when I click on it I can send fedback , which I have done a few times so far.

It`s weird in a way , there is no desktop, no start menu , no programs ,it has a built in media player that I can't see and a cam on top for video and pix.

No caps lock, a search icon is in its place

Meant to ask you if this was real. Thought your FB acct got hacked or something. Congrats, homie.
