What happens if you don't have internet......

[IamJasonSlone]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? This is NOT an OS.

If I were to use this os, I would feel very, VERY claustraphobic

Who cares how fast it loads, I mean when you know you're going to spend 8+ hours operating the thing, then 7 seconds is nothing to get excited about.

Where it does matter, is when you're so addicted to an internet "app" and think about going online when you wake up at 3am. Thinking about booting Windows can make you stay in bed.

@IamJasonSlone I though it was an OS?

LOL... sleep mode consume about 5 watt. So much for "pretty energy consuming". That come down to roughly 22 cents a month, depending on your local electricity rate.

@WGG25 O no!!! all it's powering is the RAM it's not "pretty energy consuming" at all, and if you want to be this anal about it.. Hibernate = no power and still faster than Chrome OS.

[WGG25]

@sunil237 in sleep-mode your computer is still on, which is pretty energy consuming :)

fuck

[sunil237]

Umm.. The main reason of Chrome OS is to be on and on the internet "instantly" right... so it takes 10+ seconds to boot up. Why not just use sleep mode and you will be in after a second.

So... The internet comes up immediately, which is awesome, but I can't even play Command and Conquer, Morrowind, KotOR, The Sims 3, or any other game I paid good money for?

Too bad too, it sounded promising.
