Skylark95 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I would love to try this, but I don't have any reason to purchase one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eminutia Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Does it have a media player and a text editor? If so it will interest me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Those are things you can download, Em. If they don't come with them already, it'd be easy to find shareware (like Notepad+) etc to put on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Title Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It wil be interesting to see how they turn out. It might be good for the US, but in Australia at least, having an entirely web-based computer isn't a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eminutia Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 having an entirely web-based computer isn't a good idea.Why not? I understand that there is strict censorship there, does that have anything to do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHINESE BABOON Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Does it have a Google based OS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Title Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 @Em - Nah, the censorship won't do much (although the government was hoping to but a nation wide internet filter in, but there hasn't been much talk of that lately). Over here, internet isn't up to the same standard as US (not sure how Canada is) it is often slow, expensive and has a quota. I've got 12gbs right now for $90, mainly because of were I live. If I were using the web for everything on my computer, that would disappear really fast, and I'd be stuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
