Other Opinion

By A. Paul

i was so afraid at first being not able to find the right click button... well first of all there's none... but if you wanna access that you will use 2 finger tap... that's where you can find delete,rename,new folder, and some more of the commands on your right click window...

google chrome os operating system is totally different from windows vista,xp the 7 N D 8th... and i wouldn't compare it also to apple... they made chrome as should be a very simple operating system which, that if your used to using regular windows its would be a pain in the butt to start with... just like playing cassette tape and you are used to on using blue-ray with a remote control... it's really basic, maybe for some it would be nice but with a regular windows user in my opinion i rather spend another $150 to get a window base laptop...

settings... i love setting up my laptop or my desktop i always edit pictures and videos playing my music vids as mp3-mp4's and all of that...the windows media player is gone no vlc no gom players anymore it just have a download folder location using your hard drive and one local media player which (you cant play your playlist) just one song or video at a time... all your pictures music and videos will be all mixed up there in that download folder... not unless you will make an individual folder for them to organized it...and just a folder only no icons or other stuff to choose from...

another thing no java applet yet that supports chrome os... and i used java on one of my favorite site and i cant get it to function right without that java plug-ins and some more plug ins i came across with that it need it to be and cant find it yet... anyway 80% of the things i do online is well taking care of... like browsing the net facebooking youtubing online games or facebook games checking emails. all of that is no problem... and it did a great job on doing it and have that speed also... i think that's what really it design to do, just getting online...

now... lets talk about the better stuff...

Its cheap 200+ the 11.6 HD acer c7 chrome laptop is even cheaper than a 10.1'netbook.
ram is also up-gradable to up to 16gig but i wouldn't recommend it cause 2gig right now is working just fine... you got a 320 hardrive STORAGE compare to any tablet or other Samsung chrome os that has flash drive 8-16gig storage (which they said it runs 20% faster) "thats the down side of having hard drive compare to of having flash drive". the screen is nice and glossy and base on youtube reviews the screen is better than what samsung has... Its a dual core 1.1GHz speed honestly i dont have a problem streaming videos on it... a.k.a. netflix youtube and other video streaming site... not unless you are playing 1080p HD stuff... but lower than that i dont have any problem with it... remember DVD QUALITY videos is just 480p which for this size of screen 11.6' the 480p would look HD already...hehehe... so its still a winner choice... I also heard that it could work on ubuntu and or up-gradable to win-7 but that's a geek job already so im passing on that... and oh battery works only 3.5hrs as they said it is and if you are streaming or watching videos more often then probably it will go down to 2 - 2.5hrs battery life... And what can you loose on that? reg. laptops are like that... although it always better to have 4-7hrs of battery life... and i dont mind... there's always a power outlet on where im bringing this baby...

but still i'm going back to windows maybe after 6 months... but for now i'll give my self a chance to learn it more... im not worried much about the other settings or stuff i do off line, because i still got a nice desktop to work on... a.k.a editing videos and stuffs music and recordings...
