LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 Hey, how does this testing works ? You have to send back device after some time ? not being mean however, if you read either the website or this very thread you would know they give it to you for FREE however, you are obligated to write up reviews and send feedback on the device and future updates on the software.

And if you dont? Google shows up at your frontdoor? :laugh: Basically it is a contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 I assume that if you do not do as you are asked they will request it be returned however, as you stated it does appear simply to be a contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fhpuqrgrpgvirzhpujbj Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If I haven't gotten an email yet and I signed up a few days ago does that mean I'm out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted December 9, 2010 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2010 If I haven't gotten an email yet and I signed up a few days ago does that mean I'm out? They did not send out emails they just arrived on folks's door steps this morning. Also as stated before there are only 66k of them and they did not ship them all out at the same time.

jblazea50 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I hope I get one soon. Are they giving out all 66k to the Pilot testers? I never get picked for any of these things. It sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Surprisingly nice looking piece of hardware, it's a shame they won't be shipped out internationally as I would love to test one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightShadow Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Being out of the U.S really sucks, I'd love to get my hands on one of these :/ Looks like videos will do till late 2011 when I can try them in PC World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TemperingPick Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 To the people who have them: Did you sign up with the webpage or did you click on the box that Chrome had? EDIT: Saw Spork did. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertlc Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I got mine today and clicked on the box on Chrome. It was a very short signup (nothing like the link that asks you what you'll be using it for, etc.) I believe it only asked for my mailing information and e-mail address (I used my GMAIL.)

Paul Paliath Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Just an FYI, they're still shipping out devices, so if you didn't get one today it doesn't mean you won't. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicholas7777 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Someone who has received their Chrome notebook, look for a reference number on the package. It would be on the shipping label as REFERENCE 1 or REF # or REF 1. If it's not on the box, try to enter the tracking number on the FedEx or UPS site and then it may display a reference number on that page. Once we have the reference number, anyone can go to the FedEx or UPS website, enter their zip code, and then it will tell you if you have a package coming from Google. The website for searching them is https://fedex.com/AltRefTracking if it's shipped FedEx (which I think it is) or http://wwwapps.ups.com/WebTracking/reference if it's UPS. So, if you have received a Chrome notebook, please post the reference number for the package. I'm really hoping I get my Chrome notebook... I first filled out the form in a link from Chrome but then did the "advanced" survey. I hope that didn't disqualify me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Spork) Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 Honestly i seen the popup box and said wth ill try filled it out and forgot about it till it was dropped off. I'll check the reference number when i get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendrome Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It's probably a unique reference number for each one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It's probably a unique reference number for each one? No idea. Now that I'm really thinking about it, if I do get one, I'm not sure how much I could use it. I mean I'm a student, so I "should" be able to use it, but without Microsoft Office.... Ive never used google apps, but a lot of things we do require powerpoint, and I do use OneNote on a every day basis. Wonder if it is possible to replace the SSD with a 32GB one (or even a hard drive) and put Windows 7 on there and dual boot somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverskull Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Ahh I really hope I get one of these. I didn't even see the Chrome sticker thing on Facebook until after they'd announced it... really should pay more attention to things like that. Even if I don't... I'll just keep running builds on my netbook... but as this thing is faster and has a longer-lasting battery than my netbook I'd love to have one.

nicholas7777 Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've made a program that checks each reference number on the UPS site with a zip code to see if a package is coming. The last four numbers start at 1000 and increment from there. I probably won't release this publicly but I could scrape the city names from the pages to make a list of all cities receiving them. Would that be helpful or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacer Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Came home after work today and didn't have a package waiting for me. :cry: Figures. I've made a program that checks each reference number on the UPS site with a zip code to see if a package is coming. The last four numbers start at 1000 and increment from there. I probably won't release this publicly but I could scrape the city names from the pages to make a list of all cities receiving them. Would that be helpful or not? That would be cool.
