New Notebook

Posted January 08, 2011, 07:06:46 PM

I recently purchased a CR-48 off eBay to replace my Dell XPS M1530 which died, here is my experiences with different operating systems:
Chrome OS: Quick Boot and nice to browse the web in, problem is I have no way to play my music, and I don't have a good html/js/css/php editor.
Windows 7 32bit: Works nicely, and all the hardware detected including the bluetooth(bluetooth driver that finally worked).
Mac OS X: Installed 10.6.3 felt a bit sluggish because it didn't have QE(Quartz Extreme, basically it can't take advantage of the graphics card :/) Also no trackpad support
Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop i386: Felt fairly snappy only thing holding me back is no trackpad support UGH!
Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix: The huge menu/window it uses for applications seems to really bog it down, but the trackpad does work nicely.
