The Cr-48 is what notebook should be like : Spare . There are no residual - streak stickers . No stamps . No logos , no badge , no labels . Nothing shiny or blinking or twinkling . No swooshes or frivolous texture . It ’s pure , unploughed matte contraband skin .
The most remarkable purpose is so pernicious you do n’t realize that it is design . And that ’s the Cr-48 . There ’s nothing unnecessary here ( even if it does n’t have some things that some people might say are necessary ) . Superfluous key are deleted to make room for more useful ones , like search and screenshot . The trackpad is buttonless , so there ’s more tracking airfoil . It ’s charge card and lightweight , but stalwart . There are curve ball and abut exactly where they should be . running , beautiful minimal art . It ’s like a ThinkPad designed for someone under the age of 30 .
liken : row of laptop at Best Buy , more tattooed than flamed out rockstars . NVIDIA GTX 483958 graphics , INTEL INSIDE , MCAFEE PCONDOM , HP urge WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUM ULTIMATE AWESOME EDITION . And it ’s worse when you actually turn them on .
A clean slating of a laptop , the Cr-48 makes sentience come in from Google , which is n’t trying to betray you a pile of parts or software program . It does n’t matter who build the laptop computer , or what ’s in spite of appearance . Just that your eyeballs are securely affixed to the internet , undistracted — andthe ad Google serves up . The Cr-48 is just a epitome only a few of us ( like you ! ) will get to use , but do n’t be surprised if , like the Skywalkers , there is another .

It ’s just inauspicious that Google might be the only company that could give us this kind of laptop , because it ’s the kind of automobile that some people clearly require : One that lets us just focus on what ’s in front of us .
