The Cr-48 is the test notebook we designed for the Pilot program. It’s the first of its kind. It’s ready when you are, booting in about 10 seconds and resuming from sleep instantly. There’s built-in Wi-Fi and 3G, so you can stay connected everywhere, and a webcam for video chat. The vibrant 12-inch LCD display, full-size keyboard and oversized touchpad let you enjoy the web comfortably. And at just 3.8 pounds with over eight hours of active usage and a week of standby time, it’s easy to take along for the ride.
What did we leave out? Spinning disks, caps-lock key, function keys, and lap burns.
Chrome notebooks are built and optimized for the web,where you already spend most of your computing time. So you get a faster, simpler and more secure experience without all the headaches of ordinary computers.
