[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

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"

Not everyone wants one, plenty of people don't want one because they have no need for ChromeOS.

Most people want one so they can play with it, plus it free hardware! Why not try to win one?

"Everyone in the west..." I'm guessing you don't live in the US and your just mad you don't have a chance at getting one?

You seem kinda aggravated over "just another netbook"... :/

I have to agree with you there. Hell I know lots of ITs that are trying everything they can to get one to test. Hell I will even admit that I have signed myself up multiple times so I have a chance to get one or two to test for my clients.

I'd like to know how many just want it because it's free and won't provide ANY feedback on it.

I love playing with/testing new hardware/software and would like to get one to test out, but I'm not spazzing out because the one(s) coming to my zip code isn't mine. I'll either get one or not.

So I signed up about two days ago, and just now realized I forgot to add my apartment number.

I checked the tracker, and there are two being sent to my ZIP, is there anyway I can check the address?

I have no idea what the reference number or tracking number for those are. Is there anyway to find out?

I need at least 100mb per hour. This sucks big beach balls!

That is why they offer the ability to pay for additional GB. :)

If you expect everything for free, well, then you live in a sad little world my friend. :(

I'm sure verizon can provide us with free 3g without losing a penny

You can always connect via wifi and use the 3g when necessary ;)

yeah that's what i'll have to do.

comcast has a lot of hotspots around my area so i'll just take advantage of that.

Is there any way I can fix it? Or should I just try applying again...

If you regularly receive packages by UPS, then the driver probably knows which apartment number belongs to which resident. If not, it is likely that he will simply leave the package at the apartment complex office. That's what has happened to me several times when I lived in apartments.

Dude, Verizon's normal netbook data plan that you would pay $35-40 a month for is only 200MB a month (if I remember correctly from a month ago when I was shopping for a 3G netbook), and you are getting half of that for free if you get selected for this. Talk about arrogant whining!!!

edit: Looks like they have changed their netbook plans, they now only offer a $50 a month plan to start with 5GB per month.

Yeah... I'm just going to use my Virgin Mobile MiFi, which is $40/month unlimited.

    • 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.
