So when I got the Cr-48, I knew it had wireless built into it, but what I wasn’t expecting was 3G wireless built in. When i found out that it did, it made me raise my eyebrow and say “that’s pretty cool”. I wondered how I could utilize that, if at all. I figured I would have to basically find a carrier that would support it, and then sign up for a new plan and everything. It was something I was thinking I could do later and stuff, but there was no way I was going to do that for a test unit laptop.<\/p>\n
Imagine my surprise when I looked into the details a little more and found out that Google is actually giving me free 3G service with the laptop \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Apparently, I get a small and simple plan from one of the big cell providers (The big V) that gives me 100 megabytes of data to use per month for the next 2 years. Sweet. Sure, 100 megabytes isn’t going to go far in this day and age of the internet, but its a good backup for those times I’m away from a wireless hotspot. Then again, 3 days in, and I’ve already used 20 of those 100 megabytes… and that was only doing light stuff. I wonder how long this will last.<\/p>\n
Anyways, it was really smart to make this 3G enabled from the start… this type of standard in laptops could really make a difference in the way people use them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
