1WayJonny Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 I got mine it pretty cool... My girl friend opened it and signed in with my stuff as the owner which is cool with me and she took the photo. Turns out after a hour searching for a option to change the picture over various sessions I emailed Google Ninja ChromeOS Support (not joking) and I got a reply in a few hours confirming that I cant change the picture. Of course I replied that its a simple feature , yada yada yada. Not that big of a deal but its a bummer. If you skip the picture setup you can not add a picture later as well. Rep said it might come later... Other then that its cool as it was free and its serves it purpose well, love the feel over the rubber matte finish everywhere. Need to see later builds of it to pass judgment but the device is interesting. Thanks for the cool laptop Google! ** EDIT ** In the replay I also asked Google rep if there is a way to reset / remove the owner user.

____ Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 In the replay I also asked Google rep if there is a way to reset / remove the owner user. If you switch the developer switch under the battery and boot up on unlocked mode and then shut down and switch it back it will reboot factory reset.

Southern Patriot Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Well, so far there has only been one shipped to my city (the capital city of my state, no less!), and it was delivered at about the same time I saw this thread and applied for one. I'm hoping to maybe get one in one of the next couple of batches. Two things I've noticed though: 1. there seem to be a LOT of them going to Jacksonville, FL (kept seeing them when searching those pastie pages for my city, Jackson, MS). 2. those lists on pastie chew up a hell of a lot of RAM, they nearly lock up IE on my Dell Mini 10!!

corwinamber Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 well, in the first batch, one came to my town and it wasn't mine.

Jme621 Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 what does ! in front of your city mean?? on the pastie links thing i.e. (!) SHREWSBURY, MA, US not my city just an example Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/959472-official-cr-48-chromeos-laptop-shipment-tracking/page/11/#findComment-593479008 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycmattw Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 So if I am understanding this right so far out of the 3 batches sent out so far (that have been posted on pastie) only an estimated 6000 netbooks have been sent out, out of the 60,000 that were made in production? what does ! in front of your city mean?? on the pastie links thing i.e. (!) SHREWSBURY, MA, US not my city just an example It means that the address had an issue with shipping I guess. Hoping that UPS fixes the issues with that address.

Code.Red Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 what does ! in front of your city mean?? on the pastie links thing i.e. (!) SHREWSBURY, MA, US not my city just an example That just means that it hasn't been successfully delivered at the time that the list was generated. For example, if it hasn't been shipped, if it's enroute, or if there was a delivery exception (e.g. address doesn't exist), there will be a (!).
