    I found a place to get this achievement a couple tests sooner:

    - Single Player
    - Chapter 1
    - Test Chamber 4

    This test begins with some smooth jazz to calm you down.

    You'll walk straight onto the button you're going to be aiming for (with the Orange portal on your right.) Straight ahead of you is a cube that is released from a cage. Place your Blue portal directly under the cage. The cube's momentum will launch it out of the Orange portal and should land right on the button.

    Edit: Video removed as it is no longer available on YouTube.

    EddieM1974The trick worked perfectly, but didn't get me the achievement unfortunately.

    HaarbergerJust got it, had to check if this place was being mentioned among the guides.
    Nice to get it such early, I first stared at the achievement with a lump inside of my neck.

    FruitofPassionSo I did this today and after failing to get to the position in time before the drop I discovered it's totally possible to do without the drop (though perhaps a tad harder).
    Simply put one portal on the wall across the button, use the 2nd to bring the box up. With it now sitting a couple feet from the button just keep putting the 2nd portal under it moving closer and closer to the button until it lands. You gotta be quick, but if you want to try it this way instead of restarting the level, it's an option.

    Chapter 2: The Cold Boot. Test Chamber 6.

    When you make your way to the button, press the button once so GLaDOS releases the garbage. Now across from the button where the angled platforms are, shoot a portal on the RIGHT one. Now above the button to your left shoot another portal. Now press the button and GLaDOS will release a cube and the cube will land on the button without you touching it.
