I got mine a few days ago from Gilt.com
Things I like:
Fast.
Amazing battery life.
Good trackpad.
Chrome!
Nice keyboard.
Light weight.
Things I don't like:
It stutters sometimes with flash objects.
Display only opens at about 130 deg angle. I wish it went further back.
The display hinge closes when it is open at 45 degs and chrombook is out held with screen facing down.
No shortcut to jump to end or beginning of line when typing.
Microphone is not very good - you sound like you are in a tunnel when talking.
No way to change the keyboard repeat rate.
No delete key.
Things I wish it had:
Magnetic power connector.
I love this little thing. It's extremely fast and the battery lasts longer than my MacBook (which is going to my parents). It's a pleasure to surf the web on.
- juiceandjuice 15y agoYeah, the arctic white from Gilt. I haven't got the Rickshaw case yet though, but I like it for the most part. I'm playing with it to decided what I want to do with it. I'm probably going to end up mostly giving it to my parents for my little sister since I feel its a bit better than Ubuntu in some respects and I don't have to worry about malware or supporting it. I've already enabled dev mode on it, which is kind of interesting. Also, there really needs to be support for archives and zip files and stuff. I downloaded a zip file of photos expecting to be able to unzip it at least and maybe upload to Picasa, but couldn't unzip it. I do want to develop some chrome apps now though, it's nice to have a blank slate platform and play with something to see what it needs.
