Title: [TENTATIVE] CR-48 Google Chromebook
Post by: kpriess on September 02, 2011, 06:48:26 AM
Don't want to let this go, but I'm tempted as I have other needs right now..

I would say 50BTC; will go with cables, 8GB SD card and a custom fit pouch..
CRbook is at the office, these pics should suffice for now..

If the sell goes thorugh it will be registered through btcmarket.us

Verizon 3G activated on it or not?  If so, when was it activated?

Cheers,
Kermee

I'd LOVE to have one of these spit-fuck notebooks for RDP and just BSing around for 8 hours (like for school use), but I've been reading reviews;
Lots of con's about Flash being laggy.
Does anyone know anything WiFi/3G how well it stacks up?
Also, does anyone know anything about USB (1TB)? I've heard bad things about it reading the files from the disk.

One last thing...anything about alternate programs? Like does it have Terminal/CMD, basically a back-end workstation. I'd like to see it be able to RDP.

I know that people have rooted these and put Mac OS, Windows, and Ubuntu on, so it should be possible. How well that works is another matter.

If there are no offers I'll just keep it.. Or there should be more Google enthusiasts at ebay, or at least I hope so..
