Gadget Love: Romancing Google's CR-48 Laptop

• peregrine 16y ago
  I use my CR-48 for almost everything these days... SSH into a vps for programming. Write my docs/prezis. Chat/Video chat with people from all over. Watch TV and Movies. Its pretty great only times I need to boot into my much more powerful, much larger, school laptop is when I need to use eclipse and thats only because I'm too lazy to setup ant scripts to deal with my teams projects. Or when I've got a .doc or .docx that Google Docs chokes on. Its the best machine I own and I didn't even have to pay for it. This article sums up much of how I feel about it day to day.

    What do you do about media like movies or videos? That was always my biggest hangup with this laptop.

      Just watch Hulu on low hd settings. Hulu is the worst by far, but megavideo tends to work pretty well.
