[Official] CR-48 ChromeOS Laptop Shipment-Tracking


Recommended Posts

Also, windows server 2008 R2 works great on it after installing Luigi to flash the firmware.

didnt even give the os a day :no: , this is why promotions like this are few and far between, people dont use it the way they said they would when they applied and the companies decide to quit doing them.

/rant

Anyone know if there is a way to change the shipping address if you have not received one yet. I just moved over the weekend and if i have a chance of getting one I would like it to come to the correct address

Sigh... all you lucky people getting your Cr-48s... I still have this vision in my head of mine somewhere in our yard buried in the snow and we won't be able to find it until it all melts.

And for anybody interested, the tracker is definitely gone now and is replaced by a pretty GoDaddy page (cringe...)

....I have been posting this quite often today....

I installed it as a "look what's possible, let's see what it can take" thing. I also plan on installing Mac OSX and different version of linux on it at some point as well. Also, great thing about this device is you can flash the firmware back and it will automagically rebuild itself back to stock, even with the harddrive wiped. Wish I could see that on more laptops I work on.

You know... that whole spam incident was quite helpful when you think about it. I was so worried that my address was wrong or something, thanks to the tracker, but since my mailbox wasn't spammed I suppose that means that I just never got one.

Of course, it's also possible that the tracker was picking up a package that wasn't a notebook. Perhaps that's why it was shut down...

Typing this from my new cr48 notebook! UPS guy arrived around 4 this afternoon...been playing with it ever since, and I have to admit...it's quite nice!

:cool:

I finally got mine today. :D

Anyone tried the development channel?

I got mine a week or so ago and it is nice. Everything I need when I'm away is available via internet, so nothing but the web is ok with me. I've not done any hacking or modding, not sure I will since it does all I need already (but I'll be reading up on it).

  • 2 weeks later...

Question any one here not get a Cr-48 that got got the mass emails about the Cr-48 group? I did and got in contact with a ninja 11 days ago and she said my info was sent to shipping yet I have not gotten it... Either Shipping is backed up or they only ship so many perday/week.... If any one else was in this same situation were they were in contact with a ninja but received yours. how long was your wait?

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
