So after a bad start to this week due to a range of reasons, I was generally sulking. Went out with my parents to get breakfast, and as I was dropping my father off at home we saw a UPS truck pull up and drop something off at our place. I didn't think much of it at the time. I took my mother out to another store and ran a few errands. When I got back, my ipod decided to start acting up, so I had totally forgotten about getting a package earlier that day, after a bit of nagging by my parents I came out to investigate.
I opened up a box, and was shocked to find that inside was a shiny new laptop waiting just for me. I had totally forgotten that I had signed up for the ChromeOS beta test from Google. It's about 12"x9"x0.75" It has a monitor out, 1 usb slot and a headphone jack. There is one other thing on the side that I can't quite tell what it is, an expansion slot maybe?
It starts up quickly, and it comes out of hibernation quickly. It comes with 2 years of 100mb 3g coverage on Verizon free.
to right click you have to basically hold down both sides of the bottom part of the touch pad.
hey, fyi: you dont have to hold both sides of the track pad, just use two fingers. two fingers to scroll, and two presed to right click. you'll get used to it pretty fast.
