Hi,

I just received my chromebook and while I don't mean to sound ungrateful, it is really disappointing.  

In addition to being an old model, it arrived with no packaging - just the laptop rattling around in a big shipping box. I don't even know if it works at all since no power cord (or cables or documentation) was included and the battery is definitely dead.

I suppose the contest was meant to encourage development on Google platforms, but my co-workers were pretty shocked at how poorly this "prize" reflects on the company's view of third party developers.

That's ashamed you didn't get a power adapter :-(

I think they are sending out old corporate laptops.  Hopefully it gets fixed.

While disappointed also, mine was a gift for my wife and she was elated :-)

Ha - I was going to give mine to my nephew, but I just ordered him an ipad instead :)
