[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

So I was gone all day, and as a got home, the USP truck was outside my door, and the guy was walking away from my front door. My hopes high-rocketed up. I walk up to my door to see a package of peaches from the state of OR...:(

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this type of experience! xD

One coming to my zipcode, I wish there was some way to find out for sure..

I wish there was too. The site isn't linking to the tracking code anymore, so we can't even call UPS to confirm it.

Yeah I'm driving myself nuts trying to figure out if anyone in my area code knew about the program, or whatever, and the what ifs.. but I guess it's just a wait and see kind of thing, which is tapping on my nerves a little bit.

I got mine today and tomorrow is my birthday, blew my mind when the UPS driver dropped it off!

Grats. The tracker said Spearfish (my town) before with an ETA instead of Delivered - Now it says Spearfish OCL (any ideas wtf that means) and says delivered. Nothing at my door, must not have been mine but don't really know who in my town would have wanted one at all. Well, there went my dreams of a free laptop to test. I know there is a few more days left but I'm not keeping my hopes up either.

just checked the tracker again for the first time in a couple days and i now see one coming to both my home zip code and my work zip code. i registered myself at work, and my wife at home, so hopefully one of them is coming to me!

I wish I'd known about this a while ago.. Now it's probably too late to actually have a decent chance at getting one.

Yea I dunno, I applied right as it was happening and so far nothing. I was even in direct contact with a higher up at Google (their main project manager) in regards to my work (government) and he stated if we qualified they may be able to send me several hundred devices to test with. I was nice about it, told him that currently we do not use Google Apps due to costs and spending tax payers dollars, and that I was only interested in getting a couple of units to test in our Public Safety functions (Police and Fire). So far no response, I was being honest and not greedy... all the while, I am seeing reports of people under 18 getting them (not qualified per the registration rules), and some people getting more then one who aren't a business/education/dev. I am not exactly jealous of these people, but I was looking forward to testing these devices and see how I can implement them in my work, at the same time helping Google out with their pilot program. So I am a little disappointed in the selection process at this point.

Heh. I'm kinda in the same boat. I wanted to test new platform for my business. We are planning to move our infrastructure to web, because its more cheap and secure. But they don't want to ship to Ukraine now :( . And i doubt they ever will. Right now our only hope is to get one through our USA affiliates, who gave us US address or to wait for official release :( . And most funny thing is that our local Google contact doesn't even know about test event :)

It is quite annoying when you think about it because you just know that people are twisting their entries to try and get them only to let them collect dust or sell. Sadly you just can't win them all, and so far it definitely seems like it.

Its just another Netbook, Everyone in the west just wants to get their hands on something new. All that ******** about "testing" them they want to just say "hey look what I got from Google, Arent I good/better than you please define me define me"

So the InfoNotice that UPS left on my door yesterday wasn't a netbook. I went to pick it u today and it was some documents that someone sent my brother. Good news is that there's one headed for my zip code and ETA is 12/20. This is only the second one that has been shipped to my city so I'm hoping this is for me. Although I won't be holding my breath.

    • Last week I was investigating an issue with contacts and tried using the new Outlook. In the real (Classic) Outlook, you can easily go to any Outlook folder and present it in a Table View, then customize the columns to show/sort any field, which was exactly what I needed. But of course, the new Outlook doesn't have this feature at all. I gave up. Oh, and can we possibly stop claiming the new Outlook has PST support? What it really has is the ability to use the real Outlook in the background to pretend to have PST support. There is no PST support without the real Outlook installed.
    • Honestly just before Panos left it started to feel like MS just wasnt interested in them so they were being less innovative with them, and then when he DID leave for Amazon its kind of clear the direction is gone. It felt like Panos had both goals and drive, and a vision, but it felt like no matter what his title/department was the Surface devices never had the full interest of the rest of management and he was just pushing a bolder up a hill that MS was adding dirt to as he went.
    • A roguelike and a 4X strategy game are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The final leg of the Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways promotion just landed, and it brought along two more games to keep. Last week's Lonestar and Calico giveaways have now been replaced with copies of Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest to claim for PC gamers. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. Diving into the games, Songs of Conquest is developed by Lavapotion. This is a turn-based 4X strategy experience that has players making tough decisions and participating in tactical combat while also managing their kingdom. "Songs of Conquest is a turn-based strategy game inspired by 90s classics. Lead powerful magicians called Wielders and venture to lands unknown," explains the developer. "Wage battles against armies that dare oppose you, hunt for powerful artifacts and expand your territory. The world is ripe for the taking – seize it." Meanwhile, Rogue Waters comes from developer Ice Code Games. This rogue-lite experience has you taking the role of Captain Cutter as he commands his ship and crew through procedurally generated encounters. You'll be recruiting and training crew, use sea creatures, and battle with other ships and pirates. "Set sail as Captain Cutter, a pirate caught in a deadly struggle for power and vengeance," adds the developer. "Navigate dangerous waters, unleash mythical sea creatures, and outwit enemies as you chase legendary treasure and confront dark secrets." The newly available Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day, which is slated to be Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.
