[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

Have to say the Tracker is broke. Just found another one that says it was delivered to my zip code but the city it lists is about 10 miles outside my zip code.

ORLANDO, FL 32817 6.00 lbs 12/09 12/10 Overnight - Correct City

LONGWOOD, FL 32817 6.00 lbs 12/09 12/10 Overnight - Incorrect City

Tracker seems broken...

These stupid netbooks are exhausting me. Can't wait To get mine and be done with this part of the forum :p lol

Definitely. It would seem others are getting exhausted from being here too, since it is much more quiet here today. It was fun when everything was updating, and new things kept happening almost like a twitter feed. It sucks now that nothing is happening and the tracker seems broken...

The really stupid thing is that if Google had actually done what their Pilot Progam page SAID THEY WOULD DO (i.e., e-mail people who were selected to participate), we wouldn't have a 50+ page thread here that mostly consists of speculation about who is or is not getting one!! It really feels like Google is intentionally messing with people's heads about these netbooks. Why else would they change the pattern for the reference numbers after people figured out how they worked and keep people in the dark about getting them?

They did state that one of the reasons for the program was to build "Buzz" (their choice of words not mine) about the product and that is exactly what it is doing, no one knows if they are going to get one or not so there are people talking about them like crazy.

I have a feeling these went out to those who answered the survey in a manner t which they were they weren't tech savoy people. In other words stupid people are getting these not the techies lol

That might be true for the individual applications, but the business application seemed to be geared towards people who were fairly competent. I haven't looked at the other applications.

Stats for December 16, 2010: (no new packages yet today)

Packages shipped: 161

really so only 161 were shipped out?

Seems to be another shipping to my zip. Delivery set for 20th via 2nd day air. There is one that's delivered today but I'm getting the feeling that its not for me. :|

This just reinforces the idea that the method that the publisher of that tracker is using to find the reference numbers simply isn't working anymore. Every previous shipment was roughly 2000 units. It seems unlikely that after (supposedly) not shipping any for two days, they would ship out only 161 units today.

And it still seems odd to me that the entire metro area around me, with over 620,000 people has recieved a grand total of 7 units, with only two of them going to the main city itself.

So I just got home and I found a UPS InfoNotice. It says it requires authorization to leave package. Not sure if this is a netbook or not. I'm not expecting any delivery from other places at all. They will try again on Monday. The tracker site didn't say anything about a netbook being delivered to my zip (the only one that was shipped to my zip was delivered on the 14th). So now I have to wait it out until Monday, but I'm not getting my hopes high on this.

Call the office. Sometimes if you catch them early enough, you can arrange to pick it up at the office in the evening after the truck returns. That way you won't have to wait until Monday. Is there any tracking or reference number on the InfoNotice that you could use to trace where it came from? That would determine if it is one of the netbooks or not.

Unfortunately there's no info besides the InfoNotice Number to track the package. When I track it, it's not in their system yet. Maybe I'll call the office and see if I can pick it up, but that may not be possible because the last time this happened, they said I can't pick it up and would have to wait until Monday (it was about a month ago for my brother's laptop).

There's one being shipped to my (small) city. Shipped yesterday with delivery set for 12/20 (Monday).

Man, I'd be so happy if that thing was heading my way, one can only hope! :)

I signed up on Dec. 10.

Do you guys know if I call UPS and give them my address, will they tell me if there's a package coming? Thanks

Well, it is worth a try anyway. I know my local office will occasionally let you do it if you come up with a good excuse (tell them you are leaving this weekend to go out of town for a couple of weeks or something, which is believable since it is so close to Christmas). Just let them know that you were not expecting the package to arrive as early as it did and that you really need to pick it up today.

I've called and got the drivers location before and was able to pick up the package from the driver. It doesn't always work this way, he was just a street over from mine when I called.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
    • Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 by Razvan Serea Microsoft Edge is a super fast and secure web browser from Microsoft. It works on almost any device, including PCs, iPhones and Androids. It keeps you safe online, protects your privacy, and lets you browse the web quickly. You can even use it on all your devices and keep your browsing history and favorites synced up. Built on the same technology as Chrome, Microsoft Edge has additional built-in features like Startup boost and Sleeping tabs, which boost your browsing experience with world class performance and speed that are optimized to work best with Windows. Microsoft Edge security and privacy features such as Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, Password Monitor, InPrivate search, and Kids Mode help keep you and your loved ones protected and secure online. Microsoft Edge has features to keep both you and your family protected. Enable content filters and access activity reports with your Microsoft Family Safety account and experience a kid-friendly web with Kids Mode. The new Microsoft Edge is now compatible with your favorite extensions, so it’s easy to personalize your browsing experience. Microsoft Edge 149.0.4022.52 changelog: Migration to improved V2 architecture for Workspaces. Workspaces, introduced in Edge in 2022, allows users to create durable sets of tabs that can be saved and shared with others. In order to improve reliability and performance of this feature, the following changes are being made: Migrating data for saved Workspaces from OneDrive/SharePoint to Edge Sync service Removing the collaboration/share functionality of this feature For organizations who have disabled Sync through policy, the existing v1 Workspace data will still be migrated to the new architecture. New v2 Workspaces created after migration won't sync across devices and will remain local to each device. This update occurs on a progressive rollout beginning in Edge Stable v145 and will continue rolling out in Edge v149. For more information, see Getting started with Microsoft Edge Workspaces. Feature Updates Passkey Sync for Enterprise Users. Microsoft Edge is introducing support for passkey synchronization for enterprise users, enabling secure, passwordless authentication across devices. Passkeys created in Edge can now be synced seamlessly, improving sign-in experience while maintaining strong security standards. Note: This is a controlled feature rollout. If you don't see this change, check back as we continue the rollout. Enterprise WebView2 runtime downgrade via DowngradeVersion policy. Administrators can temporarily roll back specific applications to a previous WebView2 Evergreen Runtime version (N-1 or N-2) using the new DowngradeVersion policy in msedgewebview2.admx. The Downgrade Version policy allows enterprises to mitigate critical regressions by specifying per-application exe-to-version mappings. The Edge Updater installs the target version side-by-side, and the WebView2 Loader redirects targeted apps accordingly. Downgrades auto-expire with each new WebView2 release: apps pinned to N-1 remain on the same version (now becoming N-2) and will auto-update in the next release, while apps pinned to N-2 will revert to the current Evergreen version. The policy applies only to enterprise-managed devices (domain-joined or MDM-enrolled). For more information, see Microsoft Edge WebView2 Policy Documentation | Microsoft Learn. Collections retirement. Collections has been removed in this update. Users can no longer access or use the feature. To keep saved content, users can export it, or move all pages to Favorites before updating to Microsoft Edge Stable 149. For more information, see Organize your ideas with Collections in Microsoft Edge - Microsoft Support. Modern, unified, and updated Look and Feel. Microsoft Edge has updated the Look and Feel to give customers a unified experience across all of Microsoft AI surfaces including Copilot and Bing. This changes multiple elements of the UX such as spacing, corners, fonts, default colors, etc. Clarify choices surrounding third-party cookie settings. Language under Settings > Privacy, search, and services > Cookies are clarified to better describe the choices users have in managing third-party cookies. Custom primary password retirement. Users are no longer able to create a new custom primary password in Edge Settings edge://settings/autofill/passwords/settings. Any users who are still using a custom primary password will be automatically migrated to device authentication. Additionally, the PrimaryPasswordSetting policy will no longer support the WithCustomPrimaryPassword option. For more information, see Keep your saved passwords private in Microsoft Edge | Microsoft Support. Unifying Copilot Chat policy controls. The Microsoft365CopilotChatIconEnabled policy is the standard for configuring Copilot Chat. Previously, this behavior was controlled by blocking the Copilot extension, either explicitly or by using the * wildcard via the ExtensionSettings or ExtensionInstallBlockList policies. Extension and sidebar policies no longer affect the appearance or functionality of Copilot Chat. Copilot address bar suggestions were also tied to extension policy settings. Starting in Microsoft Edge version 149, admins can use the CopilotAddressBarSuggestionsEnabled policy to manage this behavior. Intune MAM Protected Downloads. The protected downloads feature for Intune MAM is now available for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) devices, which aren't managed by a tenant.
