[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

That's hits, not uniques.

It could just be 100 or so people smacking the F5 key like it owes them money. :p

It each F5 stroke equaled $1, I'd have enough to buy me one of those laptops on ebay :p

Site needs to update so we can get that list!

It'll probably be this evening, the 3rd batch has only been submitted and not even picked up yet. I would expect those to be marked as picked up sometime this morning, since Louisville,KY international is UPS's main HUB. Then the new ones will probably show up with billing info tonight.

This is so geeky but, can whoever designed that tracker site make the display text go away when you focus on the text box? It's a great service but, that little touch would push it just that much farther.

It's just a scan, I think he has it scan/update every few hours.. There's nothing new that I see.

The scan has been changing, however the 'update' has not had any changes up until just a few minutes ago. My guess however is nothing has happened yet anyway. I would suspect somtime this afternoon we will start to see things updated (new outgoing)

found a site that will track them if you put in a city, state and zip it will tell you how many are coming to that town.

Still have my fingers crossed but the chances of getting my hand on one I am sure will be slim to none. I even sent one to my parents house in their name so maybe they will get it for me. :D

^THIS

was posted a few pages back, but it doesn't hurt to post it again since people will be coming in late and we can't sticky something on the OP.

Sorry about that have not been following the thread since before the weekend.

Can the Cr48 play videos (mp4, mkv, avi) off a shared network folder?

As it does not have any video player I would venture to say no, however you can play them if you had some sort of web player perhaps like ORB.

Just out of curiosity, can these laptops (like most others) support a different OS? I've seen no mention saying they cannot but I am more curious about it now.

Of course I'd not replace Chromium OS with anything but like as I said I am just curious. :)

    • I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.
    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
