Google’s Cr-48 Chrome Notebook Impressions Have One Refrain: Flash Sucks
Looks like Apple is right. Adobe Flash stinks on Google’s Chrome netbook.

Part of this has to do with low power processors. Acorn processors (ARM - Acorn Risc Machines) have dominated the smartphone market in the past and intel wants Atom to compete. the notebook/smartphone markets are expected to merge and adopt a common architecture. Here is an article from a couple years back: infoworld.com
Thing is that Flash demands a lot from a processor and it is hard to get low power / reduced instruction set devices to play flash without a lot of drop outs and skipping.

Gizmodo version of the review: “Apple is much better at making flash not work.”

Ya, isn’t the real comparison between chrome and linix? And then with windows?

What I don’t get about this is why people all over the dang place are posting reviews of this thing?
It’s not a production machine and it’s never going to be sold to the general public. The first ‘real’ netbooks sporting G-OS aren’t going to be available until the middle of ‘11.
Google gave these things to people so they could help beta test Chrome OS. Bastards didn’t send me one, though. LOL
