Just out of curiosity: how do you use it while traveling? Without network connectivity the thing is basically unusable right?
Just looking at 2-year 3G plans with at least 1GB data limit and no bandwidth restrictions, the value proposition of a Chromebook is not so great anymore. For the price of the 3G plan alone I could almost buy a new MacBook Air.
- watty 14y agoI can only think of one instance in two years I've owned it when I needed to get online but didn't have internet access. I used offline gmail to respond to a few emails so not a big deal. The CR48 has built in 3G but I decided against buying the $330 one and paying for a plan and will instead use my phone to tether when needed. I use FoxFi for free tethering and it's worked surprisingly well. I don't travel often - and wifi + occasional tethering is good enough for me.
