No, it really doesn't. I used it for about a week before I finally gave up. The final straw was waiting to speak to a Dell representative online, only to have Chrome fail at properly loading the simple chat window when it was my turn in "line." Screw Chrome. Everyone needs to stop pushing it like it's more than what it really is: a subpar first effort. And a pretty ugly one at that.
@allislost You mean beta software like IE8? That doesn't suck? Or even Firefox 3's beta back a while ago, that was also good? Chrome is worse than both. Much worse.
@uk I think you may have lost your legibility with that comment, too, man. And get over yourself, you elitist jackass. Would you prefer I wrote them a letter and mailed it at the post office to cancel my order?
IE8 better than Chrome? Have you been smoking e-cigaretes? The bloody thing did not even render properly the very first web site I tried (my favourite online computer store)! IE8 may be promising but beta SUCKS. While Chrome mostly works.
How can you compare betas of the new versions of software that has been around for years to something that's still version 0.2 or something? IE8 is building on IE and Firefox 3 was the next step after Firefox 2.5. Chrome is brand new.
the only reason any one would defended that crap know as chrome
is becuz it built off from webkit apple crap safari sucks y would chrome be any better
the point being this guy right chrome had way to may issues being beta
and no Firefox nor did ie8 have as many issues when it was in beta make a note of that cuz that what this guys was saying he was comparing the beta version of firefox and ie8 to chrome
chrome felt like it more still in the alpha stage then beta
and to prove a point i am actually using Firefox new beta as my default browser r all u going to to ditch your current browser for chrome maybe 1 or 2 of r dumb enough but i doubt u all r
i don't even have Firefox 3 installed as a backup any more
Y'know, uk's comment about negating one's own "legibility" seems a lot more prescient now that we have YOYO's comment as an example of what the hell that means.
"Oh boo-hoo, it's Google's first try! Cut them some slack!"
I'm sorry, I thought this was a competetive field in which Google had to be as good as the others to stay relevant. I didn't know we gave points for effort. I can compare one beta product to another no matter how many previous versions have existed. Didn't Firefox put on a serious show with its first beta? No?
The Galaxy Tab 10.1, much like its Limited Edition sibling that we reviewed last month, is ever-so-slightly thinner than the iPad 2, a slate that most sane individuals (and competitors, for that matter) would confess is the market leader today.

better than white, but still eh. hope android phones start living up more to the software behind them.
How do you know the software doesn't suck? If Chrome is any indication, it really might be crap.
chrome kicks a$$ though!

@Serial 8-Ball Mouse
I guess you have no idea what beta software is...
@ Serial 8-Ball Mouse
there is an android emulator freely available for anyone who wants to see how the software will work.
oh yeah and you can learn how to develop for the platform with it too :p
Shut the hell up because you've already negated all your legibility by being in an online chat room with a Dell representative.

Riley's is right.
@Serial 8-Ball Mouse
And who the hell uses a beta browser to purchase anything! It's beta! Get something secure you nincompoop

http://techreport.com/discussions.x/15434
