Going to have to pick one of these up for my son for Christmas

DamageX · 10-20-2012, 03:57 AM

$250? Too rich for me.

pimpware · 10-20-2012, 04:06 AM

Can't afford that, I'm only $50 rich

Chosen · 10-20-2012, 04:20 AM

Not interested in chromebooks at any price...

Brujah · 10-20-2012, 04:21 AM

Wouldn't mind if it could support SSH and Git.

javbucks · 10-20-2012, 04:38 AM

Got a few of these http://tinyurl.com/8hhz28f

Would not use a Chromebook. Can you say everything you do is being tracked and sent to Google Farms.

AllAboutCams · 10-20-2012, 04:46 AM

Looks nice might have to get one

Vapid - BANNED FOR LIFE · 10-20-2012, 04:49 AM

Alibaba has the same shit for $58.

EddyTheDog · 10-20-2012, 04:50 AM

It doesn't say anything about a UK release yet....

candyflip · 10-20-2012, 05:02 AM

A Chromebook really isn't a laptop. Different beast altogether.

tammix · 10-20-2012, 07:12 AM

I got one of those this week and when I turned it on it showed a full big pic of Larry Page that I couldnt made it to go away, it just froze there (so creepy cause Larry keeps blinking)

L-Pink · 10-20-2012, 07:28 AM

I need to render some video should I order 50 or 75 units?

I'd say go 100, just to be on the safe side.

Actually you'd have to use Adobe's cloud based video editing and rendering...so you'd only need one unit.

This thing runs a small OS that is basically Google Chrome browser and everything is cloud/web based.

I recently bought one with 4GB RAM and 500 GB HD

xNetworx · 10-20-2012, 10:20 AM

Great. Now even more people will argue their laptop is great for camming when it fact, it sucks hairy balls.

acctman · 10-20-2012, 04:27 PM

And for $100-200 more you can get a real laptop. It's like those crappy net books that everyone was going crazy over for all of 12mons then people realized the keyboards were too small, under power system, not enough hard drive space, screen too small, etc...

That's just a waste of $250

Tofu · 10-20-2012, 04:42 PM

Are these similar to the ones they use on Virgin America flights? I vaguely remember seeing google reps, monitoring a kiosk at the terminal...

...

helterskelter808 · 10-20-2012, 04:42 PM

The reason Netbook sales dropped was the advent of tablets. That is all.

I didn't have any problem with the screen, keyboard or HD size, and I don't know anyone else who did. Maybe that's because anyone who bought a small computer because it is small, then complained about its smallness, would be a fucking idiot.

Bad18yroldvirginteens · 10-20-2012, 05:00 PM

sales r hard to make piriod

rock-reed · 10-20-2012, 10:37 PM

I'd like to try one.

The Sultan Of Smut · 10-20-2012, 10:55 PM

The hardware is great for the price but I tried a beta of chrome os in 2009 and hated it.

If google took a dump in a box you'd probably buy it.

That made a ton of sense. Idiot.

stillsexy · 10-21-2012, 01:14 PM

The world still cant live without a keyboard eh...

+++++++ the world still has a need for low-priced computers with a keyboard.++++++++

CaptainHowdy · 10-21-2012, 01:15 PM

Too expensive ...

NaughtyRob · 10-21-2012, 02:06 PM

Pretty much a tablet with a keyboard. Good idea.

a netbook then?

I am curious why didn't they label it google as opposed to smasung? I mean they white labeled some gadgets before, like their phone for instance..
It does not look like google laptop, it looks like samsung laptop.

It looks like Chrome OS does support command line just fine. A default limited shell (crosh) by pressing CTRL+ALT+T for terminal, and you can type shell to get to a normal shell. SSH is installed, supports keys, and Git is installed.
