First Look: Google Cr-48 review  0 out of 5   Great performance
and battery life, fast starting   You need an internet
connection almost constantly, limited local storage, not
compatible with things like iPods  Chrome operated notebooks
aren’t available for purchase yet but Pocket-lint was lucky
enough to get our hands on the unbranded Chrome OS test notebook
before the real deal hits store shelves in mid-2011. The Cr-48
is Google’s test notebook running on the cloud-based Chrome
operating system with special features like super fast boot
speeds and almost instant internet connectivity.  The Cr-48
isn’t a full power laptop, it’s a notebook designed for fast
connectivity and easy consumption or sharing with built-in 3G
and Wi-Fi. This notebook is all about battery life, the cloud,
and sharing, rather than high powered computing.  Although the
sleek rubberised black 12.1-inch notebook’s design could stand
up to most competitors, the design is simply a prototype and
won’t be available to the masses ever. Not now
