All Cr-48s Have Been Shipped

March 11, 2011 · 0 minute read

There have been no definite numbers from Google regarding how many Cr-48s they planned to ship, or when the shipments would end. A tweet from Sundar Pichai a couple of days ago has cleared all of that up, and if you’ve yet to receive one of the test notebooks then you probably won’t like the news.

@palmjeff Sorry we have shipped all units for now. Thanks for your interest and we will have partner devices out mid-year.

Still no word on exactly how many Cr-48s were shipped in total, but estimates are around 60,000.

As mentioned in Sundar’s tweet, Chrome OS notebooks will be commercially available this summer. As a recipient of a Cr-48, I can say that I’d definitely be interested in getting another Chrome OS computer. If you’re a student looking for a small laptop to take to class then Chrome OS may be a very viable option.

If you received a Cr-48, let me know your thoughts on it.
