Not much was done today. I was out and did not get to use it much, but I used it for listening to music while designing this blog. I also used a USB mouse with my CR-48, and it worked perfectly. The only complaint I have is that I need a mouse-pad. Just realised how big the battery is.
No wonder it lasts 8 hours. Internet is blazing fast, and leaves competing computers in it's dust. If you get (or, got) a CR-48, I suggest either getting a USB mouse or using one you might happen to have laying around. I was disappointed there was no suitable online replacement for GIMP, when I was making the header.
One thing Google should include with the CR-48 is a Chrome logo sticker. I almost put a Mac sticker on it just because it so closely resembled a Black Mac. They were giving out stickers on the Facebook page, but I was a bit too late... by about 2 weeks. And they had 2,000 of them.
They need to add in a keyboard back-light feature. It's hard to see the keys. Thankfully, I have them mostly memorized. Today has been a interesting day of new discoveries. Check back tomorrow for a new overview!
I wonder if you can test out how easy/difficult it is to print out of Google laptop. Traditional printing requires 'drivers'; would CR-48???
ReplyDeleteUnless your printer is 'Cloud ready', which only some printers support. Otherwise, you have to go through a lengthy process involving a Windows computer as well as some of Google's software. Basically, the CR-48 sends the document/image to the Windows computer, and then the Windows PC prints it.
