just got a offer to trade my mid 2010 october build 13'' base line macbook pro for a brand new google cr-48

I just need some voices of reason here to help me in this choice thanks guys
 
this chrome laptop is basically just a browser in a box, you can't even use it without a internet connection. don't trade your mbp for that, unless all you do on a computer is read mail and surf the web.
 
I thought this must be a joke thread or something. I wouldn't even trade a regular MacBook for that CR-48 piece of crap, let alone a MBP...

I honestly don't see the point of that thing. It's as if Google is going backwards in the tech game...
 
Uh no. I like google and they probably have a nice product going but something tells me the MBP is more powerful by um ALLOT.
 
I wouldn't trade my printer server Pentium 4 desktop for a Cr-48.

Just a Chrome browser on a computer.

Your MBP can run Chrome as well 🙂 and do more.
 
...

your on crack if you do that trade. Not only is the cr-48 a far inferior computer, with a far inferior OS (at this point), but when it is released it will probobly be CHEAP unlike your MBP. Wait till its actually released and sell your MBP then buy 3 of the cr-48s
 
From the sounds of it my iPhone can do more than that chrome laptop... So therefor I offer a trade of my old iPhone 3G for your mbp. lol
 
I almost spit my drink out when I realized this thread was serious.

OP DO NOT trade. You will be royally screwed.
 
I have a CR-48 laptop (ugh.. have to call this thing a laptop now) and it is not worth it to trade your MBP for it..

The specs are very low for CR-48,
  • It has Intel Atom @1.66 Ghz which is basically useless in most basic scenarios
  • The chipset has integrated graphics which can't even play 360p flash video in fullscreen properly (forget 720p)
  • It only has around 15GB space but it shouldn't matter as its cloud based
  • 2GB RAM
  • 1280x800 resolution

Not worth it. Keep your MBP.

Click to expand...

the google cr-48's specs are horrible compared to a macbook pro

if i remember correctly, the google one has an atom processor with a worse video card and half the ram

this is a $400 or less computer that you would be trading for a $1200+ computer. Not worth it.
 
Well, if you can hack Chrome then Google will give you $20,000 AND their laptop.

With that said, the Core 2 Duo of the MBP will run circles around the Atom of the CR.

The lack of a caps lock prevents me from buying it tho 😛
 
Why do people keep replying in such a pointless thread?

Hey OP, would you give your MBP for a netbook? No? Ok then.
 
Um no, don't do it. When Google remote shutdown's that machine when the beta testing is over your going to be screwed.
 
No. Google's testing those laptops out...they may collect your data :O
You can go on Google and sign up for their program lol. :]
