Denis W. Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 [Moved here] Nice pictures up there. Hardware looks pretty clean and the chiclet keyboard is a nice touch. Seems to be really starved for USB ports; a minimum of two would be nice. Also is that the 3.5mm headphone jack at the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted December 9, 2010 MVC Share Posted December 9, 2010 I heard about the signup 2 days ago, didn't sign up because I thought it was just about testing the Chrome OS. Didn't think they would be sending out laptops. DOH! I signed up for it. But when asked if I would use it as my primary computer, I said no. That may have hurt my chances. Unless of course I can use quickbooks, flashget, and disby on the Chrome OS. But I told them I would use try to use it to replace my laptop next to my chair, assuming I can get some form of IM working and a VNC viewer. Are these laptops yours to keep or do you have to give them back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted December 9, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted December 9, 2010 would love to know this myself but i have not been able to fined any way to tell its basically wifi 3g data only Try if you can access a terminal using the method described here. If yes, poke around in /proc/ - e.g. cat /proc/cpuinfo should tell you what kind of CPU at which speed is in the device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aftas Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Or you could just boot off a LiveUSB and boot linux up..... Again, do you get to keep these netbooks? And can you state the answers used those who have recieved them? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 Still do not know the clock speed and all those bits however, i was able to pull this from the google page about the device * 12.1 inch LCD display * Wi-Fi 802.11n * Built-in 3G (Qualcomm) * Flash based storage * Webcam * Full-sized keyboard * Oversized touchpad * 3.8 pounds * 8 hours of run time with 8 days of standby time * 10 second boot time * Resume from sleep instantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aftas Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Yes but with a distro that allows you to install apps, there is problably something like CPU-Z for linux which can tell you the exact specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 From What I understand from reading around the web people that got the google chrome bumper stickers from facebook AND signed up for this are on the top of the list as they are (eager) testers Also a side note there are not currently any of these devices on ebay or amazon :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you dont, then Ill fill out the form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 If you read the page it tells you that they GIVE you the netbook in return for them to send you different builds and have you send them feedback on the device and software.

spacer Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm a bit confused as to the internet connection on this thing. It's has a regular WI-FI adapter AND a built in 3G adapter? So that means if you have a wireless router you don't have to buy the Verizon data plan? Or do you have to get the plan anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
