Ah, the CR-48! I was watching the Google I/O when it was announced, and they shared a link to request the prototype. I filled it out right as they showed it and a couple weeks later I had a new laptop on my doorsteps. I was around 11 at the time so my mom so it first and thought it was like a bomb. The packaging for it was really cool, I won't forget it and it came with a bunch of dope stickers.

I'm even still in the Google Group for the testers, but now and days it's mostly people talking about how the hinges broke on theirs.

My then-roommate got one and I remember being impressed at the lack of branding. All laptops until then have had a company logo.
