spacer Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Sorry if I missed it, but for those of you who received a laptop did you also get a notification if you were selected?

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 I'm a bit confused as to the internet connection on this thing. It's has a regular WI-FI adapter AND a built in 3G adapter? So that means if you have a wireless router you don't have to buy the Verizon data plan? Or do you have to get the plan anyway? You are Given a FREE data plan with Verizon once it expires you are find you can continue to use it with Wifi with no issue what so ever.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 I filled out a form from a drop down in my Chrome home page two days ago, though the form I just filled out now looked way more in depth. What was that first form, then?

aftas Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 It accepted my application in the UK Although they will be looking for Alabama, UK if it gets sent out :no: Im sending it to a person in the US who will send it out to me. At 3.8 doesnt look like much.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 Defeats the purpose of the device. Besides, with an 8GB SSD as sole storage option there is no room to hackintosh it. It would make it usable though. although a slimmed down Linux install would probably be better.

+Warwagon MVC Posted December 9, 2010 MVC Share Posted December 9, 2010 Defeats the purpose of the device. Besides, with an 8GB SSD as sole storage option there is no room to hackintosh it. I wonder what kind of hard drive connection is it has? Is the 8 gig SSD hardwired to the motherboard or can you take it out and put in your own hard drive / ssd drive?

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 These things must be a dime a dozen then. I applied yesterday as an individual, here's to hoping I get one. Not exactly dime a dozen as there were only 66K of the devices manufactured.

b10h4z4rd Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I wouldn't mind getting one of these to play around with.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 I am sure we will see more people with them tomorrow. who noes how many they even sent out in the first batch however you would have to assume that they did not send out all 66k of the units in one shipment that would be a waste they can spread them out and send them to groups or what not and not just the first group of people that sign up.
