I arrived home today to find my new Google Chrome Cr-48 netbook computer sitting in my driveway, literally. I have spent the last two hours reading the very small amount of information that was included in the box. There were three different pages of information that were shipped with this little machine. The set up was automated and when I turned it on at 6:18 pm after installing the battery, the system started automatically. I spent a long time reading the license agreement to be sure of what I was getting into, and because I don't normally read those agreements, it took longer than normal.
After the set up and logging into my Google accounts to sync my gmail as well as my Google Chrome browser, everything was working great. And it's really fast. The initial charge to the battery was at about 45% so I am still typing on that charge and this thing is saaawwweeeeet!
It is my plan to use this as my primary machine for the purposes of testing this machine. I signed up a few months ago for a free trial machine and I couldn't believe that it was here when I arrived at home. So, this is my first post about using this new trial netbook machine.
I was able to attach to my home wifi network without any problems and I am looking forward to using my Google phone, my Nexus One, as a wifi hotspot and really run this box through the mill testing the limits of my wireless connection as well as the abilities of this machine and the Google Chrome system that has been pre-installed.
Stay tuned for the updates as things develop.
