[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

Hopfully UPS will be waking me up tomorrow morning...

I'm hoping that by the time I come home tomorrow I'll have a package waiting for me, or at the latest tomorrow evening I'll be hearing the signature squeaky brakes of a UPS truck pulling in front of my house. :p

Hey anyone apply on the 18th? I have almost no hope of getting one because of that.

Not necessarily true. I'm sure they kept sign-ups open until the 21st for a reason. I personally think it would be stupid of google to only seriously consider the sign-ups from early on. They should pick based on compatibility for the pilot program regardless of sign-up date.

If it was sign up date then I would've got mine already.

Same here, but I hope they don't read an application and then simply discard it by which sign-up date it is grouped with. If that's the case, then it would make sense to sign-up once a day.

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.

I'm not arrogant at all. Just saying that if they're offering something for free to test, they should up the limits. Not much can be done with 100mb these days.

Something for free is better than nothing for free.

That's why they have Wifi on them as well, and remember that you also get access to all of Verizon's Wifi hotspots too (well, people on regular data plans with Verizon do, I'm assuming that people in this pilot program will as well).

UPS came to my street and left, :(

It's disheartening, Google really should have notified the people that got it so that they could be sure to be there, but they screwed up and now people are in situations like yours. I'm in your situation, my city appeared, with today as it's delivery date, but so far nothing, and if I knew it was or wasn't coming, I wouldn't be sitting here waiting for the stupid thing.

Also, can someone tell me if this website that tracks it is legit or not? I mean how do they tell? I mean for all I know, it could be shipping purely by weight, to that zipcode, which means that it really isn't working all that well. He's probably doing it purely for money, and trolling.

I'm in the same boat. There's one that's supposed to be delivered to my zip today. I'm waiting to see if it's me. The tracker site doesn't say anything about being delivered yet but the ETA is today.

I'll be waiting for it until the tracker site says it's been delivered. I really want to test one of these out.

has there been any progress on the tracker. for my zip at least it hasnt updated any packages since the 15 or 16th

If you look at the tracker it clearly states when it was last updated

Scanned: 12/20/10 11:55 CST (1 minute ago)

Updated: 12/20/10 11:55 CST (1 minute ago)

This doesn't mean that he is able to pick up all of the packages out there however.

There is a thread her http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2459200&page=59 where the gentleman who created the tracker constantly posts updates.

Here is his last post

Quote from VyseTheLegend :

Will the reference number help you find any more, or is this reference "formula" already applied to the tracker?

It won't help me find any more from that ship date. I am fairly certain all of those are in the tracker. Right now I am looking for reference/tracking info for any packages shipped 12/17 or later.

reply:

However, the additional reference number may help those that are trying to find a pattern in order to be able to mathematically determine the rest of the reference numbers, and then be able to get at the actual tracking numbers. Personally, I gave up on trying to figure it out.

Quote from SilverZero :

Looks like no new shipments went out late last week (per the tracker - maybe they got under the radar), ...

reply:

I suspect that there was a shipment on Fri (12/17) but that they changed things up again, so they won't be in the tracker until someone posts (or PMs me) a reference/tracking number from that batch.

Sorry but when I asked the question I had looked at the tracker and it had not updated for today it was still showing for the 16th

    • 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.
