New Google laptop only $249
would love to hear from the tech crowd on this cool new Samsung thing running on google os. I'm looking for something I can use in my house for basic web browsing when I don't feel like turning on my pc.
wi-fi only so no data plan. seems like a cheap and reasonable alternative to ipad

Re: New Google laptop only $249
I like the this video from gigaom
Ipad or tablet PC, are the most practical for work, for light tasks, or reading they are good, but not for many other tasks. So i guess this one will make it easier. also practical for people often on the road.
Now not sure, if it can replace my laptop, as i use many laptop specific software, for file transfer, etc...

My next techy purchase will be a Windows 8 tablet. I just don't really have a usage for my laptop anymore oddly enough. It is nice to have the computing power but besides keeping up with updates, I've barely turned it on in the last six months or so.

Until I get some real consumer reviews on Windows 8, I'll stick with my current laptop (and iPad)...looks good though...

Re: New Google laptop only $249
Oh, I'm most definitely not going to put my iPad to the side, although I am totally loving the Nexus 7 just because it is so much lighter. I'm just more curious about how websites will look on it since it will undoubtedly have some impact on the market. That being said, I don't think it has a prayer of challenging the current leaders in Apple and Kindle Fire HD.
I've heard good and bad about Windows 8 and I think its interface will do really well on Tablets. I'm going to get a copy and put on my old desktop before I upgrade my current desktop PC so I'll have a review for you soon

Re: New Google laptop only $249
Been using windows 8 for a couple months now in a VM - Its basiclly windows 7 with a tablet interface for touch screens. Its going to work great for tablet users and annoy regular PC users with the need to switch back to the normal "desktop" mode instead of the tile touch based mode. Just like any major change to a UI there's going to be a learning curve some people will like it and others hate it but its very functional and actually feels faster than windows 7 (although I havent actually taken the time to run the benchmarks)
If you want to try it out before you switch over I suggest using a virtual machine to sand box the OS - VMware Player works great as long as you have a fairly modern system to handle the additional load. Krissy - hit me up if you have questions or need to get a trial version going in a VM- you know where to find me.

It is amazing how lazy we've become as PC users. I read a Windows 8 review in a fairly reliable magazine and he basically said the same thing... that W8 was going to really irritate people because of having to switch between the tiles and the old desktop... which I understand is basically a two button push...? Oh the horror!
I used a Windows Phone for a while until Zune irritated me so much that I literally threw it down in frustration. I actually liked the tile interface so I think I will like Windows 8 just fine. But, before I brick my new build, I just want to test it out on my old computer for a bit

Samsung Chromebook:
Processor: Samsung Exynos 5 Dual Processor; 1.7GHz Dual-core.
RAM: 2GB
SSHDD: 16GB.
The largest drawback is that the local storage is only 16GB. You also get 100GB of free cloud storage from Google, but only for a period of two years.
If you're still thinking about going this route, it's not a bad option but be sure to buy an external USB hard drive if the thought of having to upload all of your personal documents to a cloud server puts you off.
It's not a bad choice if all you're doing is surfing the net. You'll need to spend some time getting used to Linux if you aren't already. I'd never recommend switching to Windows 7 or Windows 8 on the thing without at least upgrading your system RAM to 4GB. I really wouldn't recommend switching anyway.
