I got mine it pretty cool...

My girl friend opened it and signed in with my stuff as the owner which is cool with me and she took the photo. Turns out after a hour searching for a option to change the picture over various sessions I emailed Google Ninja ChromeOS Support (not joking) and I got a reply in a few hours confirming that I cant change the picture. Of course I replied that its a simple feature , yada yada yada. Not that big of a deal but its a bummer. If you skip the picture setup you can not add a picture later as well.

Rep said it might come later...

Other then that its cool as it was free and its serves it purpose well, love the feel over the rubber matte finish everywhere. Need to see later builds of it to pass judgment but the device is interesting.

Thanks for the cool laptop Google!

** EDIT **

In the replay I also asked Google rep if there is a way to reset / remove the owner user.

Well, so far there has only been one shipped to my city (the capital city of my state, no less!), and it was delivered at about the same time I saw this thread and applied for one. I'm hoping to maybe get one in one of the next couple of batches. Two things I've noticed though: 1. there seem to be a LOT of them going to Jacksonville, FL (kept seeing them when searching those pastie pages for my city, Jackson, MS). 2. those lists on pastie chew up a hell of a lot of RAM, they nearly lock up IE on my Dell Mini 10!!

So if I am understanding this right so far out of the 3 batches sent out so far (that have been posted on pastie) only an estimated 6000 netbooks have been sent out, out of the 60,000 that were made in production?

what does ! in front of your city mean?? on the pastie links thing

i.e.

(!) SHREWSBURY, MA, US

not my city just an example

It means that the address had an issue with shipping I guess. Hoping that UPS fixes the issues with that address.

I believe that means that they're getting ready to be shipped out in the next batch

Edit: Nevermind, that only applies to my city, must be a coincidence

That just means that it hasn't been successfully delivered at the time that the list was generated. For example, if it hasn't been shipped, if it's enroute, or if there was a delivery exception (e.g. address doesn't exist), there will be a (!).

Trying to get one using all possible sorts of combinations, filling in BELGIUM (EUROPE) in state et cetera :p It worked with Microsoft before, actually received stuff that was meant to be US only, now let's hope Google doesn't manually check these ^^

    • AMD 9070XT

      AMD is supported out of the box in linux because of their open source driver. Nvidia does not. All my systems are amd and all of them work nicely on linux arch without doing anything.

      Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.

      I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.

      Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.

      Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
