[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

If not planning to give alot of them out why would Google have gotten 60,000 of the unbranded units since they are not going to sell those units?

And yes I do expect them to keep a number in reserve for broken laptops and for comercials.

Sigh... Doesn't look like they are shipping out 60,000 Chrome notebooks... According to http://www.fastcompany.com/1709864/how-to-get-your-limited-edition-google-chrome-cr-48-notebook looks like only thousands are going out but not tens of thousands... They also said not to get your hopes up... Well I didn't think I would get one, but it's that hype they built up, and it irritates me they did that. I'm not buying a Chrome notebook later next year, I'd rather get something else. But if one is handed out to me to test, then hell yeah I'd use it and mess around with it. Nothing has come to my zip code, and some don't even have zip codes, they just say they are going to Pittsburgh... By now I'm sure there are tons of applications so I can't put another in, because so many others are probably better applications. :(

I'd take that article with a large helping of salt, because we already know that some of it is not accurate. For one, they have already shipped out well over 8,000 laptops in just the first few batches, and they are still taking applications for another 6 days (who knows how long it will take them to actually ship the ones they plan on giving out?).

And this statement:

Location, however, plays into the process. Google wants to test a diverse sampling of users, meaning if someone in your area (or office) has already received one, you're probably out of luck.
is quite clearly wrong, since some cities are getting massive numbers of them (including your city, which has recieved over 50), while other cities have so far got next to none (mine for example, which is the capital and largest city in my state, has only gotten 2, with a handful more in the surrounding metro area). As for your city, I'm only seeing 5 out of that 50+ results that don't show a ZIP code.

I agree, this again is some random site claiming stuff that has already been shown to be inaccurate.

I applied for one using the "Advanced" form on December 10th (last Friday) and hadn't seen any more shipping to my location on December 13th (Monday) so applied again using the "Basic" form (the one from Chrome), I just checked today and there are two more shipments listed as ground service to my city. Does anyone know if you can ask UPS if there are any packages in route to ones' address or have a package redirected say because one went on holiday/vacation and will not be home?

Without the tracking number no, and the other question no. Unless you get some person who just does not give a crap and wants to be fired.

Still nothing looking like it is coming anywhere near where i live. Still nothing to complain about though I mean its a free device that would normally cost a couple Hundred $

OK... tracking this thing has become a bit ridiculous for me. I'm now having dreams (or nightmares) about it. Last night I had a dream that I was in Hawaii and that UPS some how found a way to deliver my netbook to my hotel room. When I opened the box I see the netbook but i also find cutlery in there... No clue why it was there. There were like 4-5 pieces of each in there. I was in the process of taking all the cutlery out when I woke up to the sound of a text. Google has done it now. They have performed inception on me. :D

The package I've been tracking is out for delivery. I hope it's me. :)

Good luck. I'm hoping that the one coming to my ZIP code tomorrow is for me or my wife (I registered for one under each of our Gmail addresses). Either way, it is going to be an early Christmas present for her.

How are you tracking the package, if all links have been removed from the tracker site?

It's from the 3rd shipment. The ref numbers were released publicly. I found the one that's coming out to my zip code and have been tracking ever since. There is another package coming to my zip code on the tracker but I don't have the ref or tracking number for it.

How are you tracking the package, if all links have been removed from the tracker site?

Perhaps it was one of the ones that was shipped before they removed the tracking numbers, and he copied down the number or bookmarked it?

edit: lol, I was right, and we posted at the same time

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
