We just got my wife a chrome book two weeks ago and she absolutely loves it. I've only used it a couple times for browsing and it's great. It boots up in under 8 seconds!

We got her the white HP without the 4GLTE contract or touch screen since she doesn't like the touchscreen for some reason and we've always got access to wifi at home or tethered to our phones. I know you said you were against HP though. I'm a toshiba fan myself.

The only thing about it that I don't like is that I can't run microsoft office programs on it. Google has their comparable programs in the cloud and they're very similar and work reasonably well. It's just that I work in excel all day long and the difference to me is significant to cause frustration.

 

Whats the consensus on softoppers? Bob did you like yours before the bedrack?
I want an army green one, wonder if they make that.

 

Sounds like the perfect candidate for a Chromebook from what you've described. We've got one that my wife predominately uses unless we're traveling. She sleeps on flights and I use the free GoGo wifi passes so it works out pretty well. The size & battery life is great. I use my laptop (mSATA SSD) for most things though and get full Windows 8 boots in 5 seconds.

i think they only make it in black though, i love mine for the summer! lets me access the whole bed very quickly if i need to fold it down. Windows can be a pain in the butt to put on in cold temps but i like running it without windows in the summer!

and it only cost me $25 bucks

 

I ordered something from Amazon on Monday, and it still hasn't shipped. When I go into my order details it says "preparing to ship" and has said that since Monday. Is this normal? I haven't ordered much from Amazon, and every time I have it ships within one or two days. This strikes me as strange, and it pisses me off because I wanted to install my bumper and stuff this weekend.

 

I've only had one order that never shipped, and luckily it was something that I wanted to return.

Call or chat with them, they have good customer service.

 

Oh cool, I never did see a phone number for calling somebody, but it must be on there somewhere. Thanks for the info!

 

Well I called, and the person who answered is definitely not a native English speaker. Not surprising, but I wish they could've done more for me than reading me my projected delivery dates. I could've seen that without calling. I tried to ask why the shipment was delayed, but they kept simply reciting my projected delivery dates. Frustrating

 

Yeah, I'm aware that it only works with Google programs, and that's fine, I just want something small, quick and reliable for low cost (tall order I know). I have my Sony for doing work on. I like Toshiba and Sony myself, I hear Acer isn't too bad. I went through 3 HP's in 4 months a few years back and that was enough of that. HP seems to have a problem running Quickbooks, or at least it did back then. They stood behind them and repaired them but losing business info 3 times, even though it is saved/backed up, I still had to set it up the program each time and that sucked ass, lol. I've been using a Sony Vaio for 3 years now and it totally rocks.

I went back down a second time to look and play again, I think I'm going to go for it. Of course it's out of stock for a week...

Thanks guys.

 

I think I'm going to take the Atv's out tomorrow up by Lyons.

 

That sounds like a blast! May be some new snow up there after tonight. You going by yourself?

 

I just had the same thing happen. When I went back and looked closer I noticed that my purchase was sold "through" Amazon but not "by" amazon. I think that was the issue.

 

Johnny/Pearson? Are they open?

 

No going up with my wife and buddy.

Going to the trail that connects into sugarloaf rd into boulder. I've got to have a space to romp them and break them in.

 

Do you have a prime account?

Because with mine I get my stuff in two days every time.

 

I placed four different orders with Amazon at various points in the day today and all of which have already shipped. I have Prime though & I seem to notice my shit not only ships faster with Prime but seems to go out sooner too so take that for what it's worth. Did the item you order actually sell/ship from Amazon or a third party? I've had times where an item will show up before shipping info is even available but that's generally a 3rd party that uses basic USPS shipping.

 

Look you Canadians...

 

Watch it you hoser. Don't make us come down there, eh.

 

When I purchased, the item was listed several times and to the right it had the company for each listing. For some reason i don't know I chose Amazon. So far bad choice I guess.
