Chrome OS hacked for Dell’s Mini 10v, WiFi and all
In: gadgets
28 Nov 2009
If you’ve got a Dell Mini 10v and you’ve been hankering to take Chrome OS for a spin in its proper environment — a netbook, that is — today just got a lot more interesting. One helpful tinkerer over at Dell has hacked up a USB-bootable version of the as-yet unfinished (and still quite rough) Chromium iteration of Google’s OS with a working WiFi component. As you’ll recall, in our tests wireless wasn’t happening, but that’s all changed now… for 10v owners at the very least. It looks like there are still some kinks to be worked out, and you’ll be cruising into the OS on a Dell Gmail account, but at least you’ll be able to walk around your house while screaming “I’m using Chrome OS!” unburdened by pesky wires or meddlesome sanity. Check out all the info at the source, and prepare for a crazy Friday night of netbooking.

Netbooks are primarily used for checking email, surfing, chatting and basic computer applications–not games, as their graphics are usually the bare minimum to keep costs low.
They are generally smaller, so that they weigh less and are more portable; most do have Windows but some run Linux.
There may be more benefits for you to get a laptop, especially when Dell's 15-inch Inspiron is only $499, and offer expansions for gaming.
Good luck and best wishes!

You can cite the same source twice. A professor will have a set number of how many different cites he/she wants, but otherwise yeah, using the same source twice cited the same is completly okay.

Look for a wi-fi symbol on the function keys. You should be able to turn wi-fi on or off by toggling holding the "fn" key with the corresponding function key on the top row of the keyboard for wi-fi.
3G is a cellular technology that uses HSDPA (supported only by AT&T in the US). To use the 3G you will need to set up service with a cellular provider that supports HSDPA in your area. They will provide you with a SIM card that will allow you to get online anywhere you have a cellular signal.

A regular treadmill works just as good and is probably cheaper.
I can't find what you're talking about.
Sorry:(
