The Google Chrome OS Netbook
On Friday evening at the end of my office party my wife was picking me up she brought me a little surprise from the UPS store. It was the official Google Chrome OS Netbook!
It was just last week I received an email from Google allowing me to sign up for the Pilot Program to test out their new OS Netbook. Then Google showed the world their new Chrome Web store and their OS system. Next thing I know:
OMG I just got the #google laptop!http://twitpic.com/3er4n8
Merry Christmas to me!
So, this weekend I’ve been playing with it and I have so it is an adjustment. Think of a netbook that has NO desktop – it takes getting used to but its nice. The startup is instantly and the whole overlay of it relates to that of an Macbook. Its lightweight and the keys truly stand out. The webcam is great however I found that it doesn’t want to work on Facebook…which I find hilarious after their recent rivalry.
Nonetheless, I will say my son loves it due to the Chrome Store having some great game apps. It’s clean and easy but takes some getting used to. If you can call this update #1 because be sure there will be more coming.
