As some of you may know Google has been working on their own OS. The Cr-48, and from what I have seen it looks like a full size netbook.

Some specs,

Originally posted by another user

12.1-inch screen.
Full size keyboard.
Oversized clickpad.
Qualcomm Gobi 3G chip for Verizon data in the US, your carrier of choice internationally.
802.11n dual-band WiFi.
8+ hours of active use.
8+ days of standby.
Only one USB port.
Webcam.
Flash storage.
Intel Pine Trail processor.
100MB of free Verizon data.

I don't like that it doesn't have a hard drive, there is only flash storage at the moment. Then again its still in the Beta stage. There also doesn't seem to be a desktop. Where/how would you install programs etc., if there is no desktop. This would mean we would be relying on Google to release a lot of applications. Or would they give us the ability to create our own, who knows.

Un-boxing from a tester.

Info on Chrome Os,

Would you get it? Tell me below.

I'm thinking about going to the Chrome OS, but I haven't heard a lot of news about it.

Looks cool, I have a good computer right now that suits my purposes. So would I but one now? No. Maybe in the future. That's a possibility.

Looks pretty sweet but I think I'd rather have a more reliable OS that has experience in making OS. Anyways I signed up to be a beta tester for it but I guess I lost

I think I would install it on another partition just to play around with it. See what the pros/cons are.
