Google are ramping up the launch of Chrome OS by distributing a first-look CR-48 netbook, showing off some of the capabilities. There are several reviews/previews appearing on the web:
"It's not a consumer laptop, it's a test machine designed to showcase how Chrome OS netbooks will work. As a result, you can't buy one, but you can sign up to get in line for Google's pilot program. Here are our first impressions after a few hours using the machine.
The all-black Cr-48 looks like a stealth fighter. It has rubberized black surfaces, no logos anywhere and has minimal accoutrements: a built-in camera, one USB port, one video-out port, a headphone jack and a power supply. Dual-band Wi-Fi and a world-mode 3G radio are built in, as are a microphone and speakers. It has a 12.1" screen and a full-sized keyboard. At 3 pounds 10 ounces (1.6 kg), it weighs more than I expected it to."
