Google Cr-48 Chrome OS Notebook Getting Mixed Reactions
Engadget has had their Google Cr-48 Chrome notebook for a few days and provided their opinions of the prototype device.
On The Road With Cr-48: The Chrome Notebook Is Both Shiny And Tarnished
– Overall hardware impression is poor
– Rubber-like coating feels odd
– Only a single USB port
– Terrible trackpad
– Slow operation
– Adobe Flash very slow
– Confusing error message when booting without a 3G or WiFi connection available
– Search button preferred over Caps Lock button
– Thumbs up for window-switching and full screen mode buttons
– Battery life may be better than the rated 8 hours
The negative hardware comments do not concern me too much since this is not a production device.
