Day One, Part 3

Now I'll get into more detailed thoughts.

Keep in mind that the computer I used before this was an Acer Aspire that refused to awaken from sleep and kinda sucked in general.

One of the things that is hard to get used to is the keyboard changes. The caps lock button is now a search button. I'm so used to using ctrl + t to open a new tab and search from the address bar that I'm finding it hard to use the new dedicated search button. Also, this is silly but the backspace button is a lot farther away than my old computer. So that's rough.

I love having back, forward, refresh buttons. No more hunting down two buttons at a time! I only need the one. My old computer had some wack volume buttons, too. These are much nicer.

The touch pad is hard to get used to. The whole thing is clickable and it doesn't respond when there are more than one finger trying to move at the same time on it. I've grown to love it, though. I like how two-finger scrolling works much better on the Cr-48 than my old computer. Right clicking (which is achieved by clicking with two fingers at once) is still a bit tricky. Maybe tomorrow I'll get the hang of it.

I miss the following buttons: home, end, pg up, pg down. I liked being able to get back to the top of FB, Twitter, etc... after scrolling for pages and pages. Hope I find a way around that soon.

I tried using Hulu because I'd heard it didn't work out so well. Sure doesn't. It loads very slowly and the video is jerky. Audio is fine.

I am in the process of trying out all the apps available in the Chrome store.

If anyone has something they'd like me to try on the Cr-48, let me know!
