Chrome OS Notebook CR-48: Welcome Letter & Getting Started Part 1

[onmission4god]

This is really exciting! Were you notified of being accepted into the program? I registered but I would like to know of acceptance before it is shipped. Is this possible?

[TechHarvest]

@onmission4god I was not notified. It just showed up on my doorstep.

[Elround4]

Have you tried the terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) yet?

[TechHarvest]

@Elround4 No not yet.

yeah sure, everybody is going to store his stuff in the cloud in the near future, first for free. And some years later google and all the others will soak the users. And then its too late to go back and the users become in habit forming.

And how can a company like Google garantee that they can protect the privacy ? This is with digital information not possible....Googleleaks if you will

...but the chrome os and the cr-48 computer looks really cool - I hate caps lock

[TechHarvest]

@menges70 I don't see local storage ever going away. Google has a LOT to lose if it doesn't protect your privacy. If the good will is gone, so are the users.

[menges70]

@TechHarvest Dont get me wrong. I do not belong to the anti Google fraction, I am a happy Google Search and Gmail user. But its a fact, you cant keep digital information secure. Some people will always find ways. And if cloud usage will increase, the attacks on private data will also increase. ... and private storage will vanish in some years, but this only my opinion ;-) good videos by the way

google is helping forums and comments everywhere become much easier to read.

If these laptops are priced right at about 200-300 dollars I will take this over an iPad any day.

[sparroestar22]

@FrosChannel there free

[FrosChannel]

@sparroestar22 For a beta laptop yes, but I mean when they actually hit retail. I cannot see Acer or Samsung giving these away.

[igeekone]

@sparroestar22 These CR-48s are free for those selected apart of a feedback program. Retail will not be free.
