Abstract: When Google first announced Chrome OS, there were a lot of skeptics. Is the browser really all we need anymore? If you’re the right kind of person, sort of. Chrome’s meteoric rise in market share has taught something extremely useful to a company who ...
Google's CR-48 is a look at the future; it is not quite ready for public consumption and Google acknowledges this but, the potential is there. In the time spent using CR-48 I found that the experience was exactly what I was expecting. In their current...
Abstract: Video Review: Google's Chrome OS Netbook has found its way into Chris Hardwick's hands for Gadget Pr0n, where he'll preview the device, the Chrome operating system and how the Cr-48 Notebook works. The future of cloud computing could be just around the...
Chrome OS offers fast startup, Cloud storage makes it effortless to replace a laptop, Awesome matte (antiglare) exterior!,
It's "a browser in a box", No functional "offline mode" at this time, Local storage (interal SSD, USB flash drive or SD card) still a problem,
The Google Cr-48 is a promising laptop that easily sparks excitement from anyone who sees it, but it ultimately fails to impress after you spend some time using it.

Speedy bootup, wake-up times, Excellent battery life, Easy to use, Lots of free apps
No significant offline access to apps or data, Balky touch pad
This prototype design represents the shape of things to come for Chrome OS devices: super-speedy power-ups, long battery life, and apps and data that live in the cloud. ...
It’s going to take time to get used to seeing the notebook as merely a window to the cloud, but the Cr-48 certainly has us curious. The hardware itself isn’t the story here – after all, it’ll never actually go on sale, only be used to bring developers...
Abstract: Google is very serious about Chrome OS – serious enough to buy what is rumored to be 60,000 of these Cr-48 notebooks to distribute to the public as part of a pilot program. What we've previewed today is what Google is ready to show off. As we've seen ...
Capslock key reimagined as a search button. Nifty instanton capabilities. Beautiful, bright display. Epic battery life
Useless without wireless connection; only moderately useful with one. Requires massive buyin to the Googleverse. Printing via cloud connection to another PC is erratic at best. Touchpad — “it's all one big button” — requires lots of retraining. Keyboard f
Google Chrome OS and the Cr-48 are very interesting to play with and to learn from (Microsoft should learn a thing or two as well), but the real question is: will they give you a meaningful computing experience? It's either a hit or miss, and to be honest...
