This evening when I got home from work I had a few packages (Christmas shopping via Amazon) waiting for me. I dug in and was surprised to find one was a Google Cr-48 laptop, yes!
First impressions:
- The hardware is pretty nice, the first request would be a back-lit keyboard and physical mouse buttons but the hardware is just a means to test the software so I understand the limitations. I really like the matte finish and the matte display.
- The computer boots very fast and is drop dead simple to login; setup the WiFi connection and login with a Google account.
- Since I already use Chrome as my main browser all my settings "magically" synced to the Cr-48.
This post was entirely written on the Cr-48 and I am going to continue to use it as my main machine when not working (hard to write/compile/test Qt c++ code on this).
