Using the Google Cr-48 for Coding

Keep in mind, while reading this, that the Cr-48 is a beta product of sorts. So the mentioned hardware faults will most likely be fixed when this thing actually ships.

Somewhat unrelated:

Right now my ideal laptop would be: Take a 13″ Macbook Pro, replace the HD with an SSD, replace the DVD drive with more battery, add 3G.

I couldn't agree more, that really would be a perfect laptop.

I'm extremely happy with my 13" MacBook Air and its 7 hour battery life. Chances are, I'll be tired of looking at my laptop before I'll encounter a situation where I run out of juice, and I have my iPad to tether, even though not technically allowed...

There's a Trekstor Portable 3G/HSPA Wifi router (a Rebranded Huawei E5) on its way to me right now. Lack of built-in 3G in the Macbook Air is a little annoying - I'd prefer it over the SD card slot - but this little router should do the trick. Dragging an iPad around together with an Air just for the 3G seems a little over the top. :-) An iPhone 3GS or 4 with bluetooth tethering would be OK I suppose; my 3G's modem is annoyingly slow (384kbit/s) due to lack os HSPA support.

Sony Vaio Z, well other than the battery part.

Oh yeah, 1920x1080 on a 13". :-)

Sounds like a 13" Air with 3G. I agree, too — would be a super sweet machine. I'd like to see them offer 3G on the 11" Air, too!
