Questions tagged [cr-48]

The Cr-48 is an unbranded netbook device developed and distributed by Google to test the viability of the Chrome Operating System.

Google announced the pilot program on December 7, 2010, offering people interested in testing the netbook a number of different ways to sign up (e.g., a special page on YouTube, a page in Facebook, etc.).

It is a 12.1 inch netbook, unbranded, covered in a black, rubberized material. In addition to wifi, it also offers a free monthly allotment of 100 MB from Verizon Wireless. They offer full-sized keyboard, a customized trackpad, and up to eight hours of battery life, eight days of standby time, and boot up nearly instantly. They're also locked into ChromeOS, although there is a "jailbreak" switch, and some enterprising people have gotten it to boot other OSes.

Replacement AC adapter for my CR-48?

I managed to lose the AC adapter on my Google CR-48. Yeah, already, I know. I have a couple more places to check, but does anyone know where I could find a compatible AC adapter? 19.5v 2.0a is not the sort of thing Radio Shack carries.

What CR-48 firmware lets you install Linux?

This would be to remove Chrome OS and replace it with Ubuntu. Right now I am dual booting, but it uses CRos Kernel. Luigi seems to no longer be around.
