Earlier this week, I spent some time posting about Google’s decision to leave the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro out of the Black Friday discount lineup this year. I applaud them for sticking to their guns and making a bit of a statement that these phones are priced well, selling well, and worth the […]

[Updated] Stadia Pro free trial with no payment method goes live, but with one caveat
Update: The screenshot below was improperly attributed to ‘Cloudproto’. It’s’ been updated to credit Ben Schoon. We received hints a few months ago about Stadia possibly offering a Pro trial to newcomers without asking for their credit or debit card in order to get started. A user on the official Stadia Discord channel who goes […]
Continue ReadingThe beautiful HP Elite c1030 Chromebook is now up for pre-order with some caveats
When HP unveiled its latest lineup of enterprise-ready Chromebooks for 2020 back in May of this year, the one that clearly had everyone’s attention was the Elite c1030 Chromebook. This device comes equipped with basically every bell and whistle you could want and we were told by HP that availability would happen in the August […]

Google likes to do this from time to time, giving users access to a handful of rentals for a Redbox-like price. They are at it again, but there are some things you need to know about it this time around. First and foremost, this offer is not extended to all Google users. Yeah, that stinks, […]

Screenshot from a Dell Chromebook 13 running Android Apps. You read that right! Dell is next in line to see Android Apps arrive in the Beta Channel of Chrome OS. As the title implies, there are some caveats here and we are going to go through them quickly. Those things aside, The Dell Chromebook 13 […]
Continue ReadingGoogle’s 10/4 Event: Why We May See ‘Cave’ – Not ‘Kevin’
As I’ve said before, it is firmly Chromebook Silly Season. The sheer number of new devices showing up in the commits bears witness to this fact, as does the near-endless speculation surrounding them. We previously speculated ‘Kevin’ could be announced at Google’s 10/4 Event. Emphasis on the ‘could’. We’ve also talked a bit about Samsung, […]
Continue ReadingNew Chromebook ‘Cave’ (Likely ASUS Flip 2) Will Have High Resolution Screen
With all the talk revolving around ‘Kevin’ and ‘Gru’ of late, one of the devices I’ve been extremely excited about has been relatively silent. ‘Cave’ has been absent around Chrome Unboxed for a little while. We still feel that ‘Cave’ is the ASUS Chromebook 2, but nothing we’ve seen recently has been conclusive. We’ve seen […]
Continue ReadingHP’s latest Chromebook Plus drops to a price that makes more sense
Ah, the HP Chromebook Plus x360 14c – a device that is frustratingly great at getting so much of the Chromebook Plus equation right while missing on a few things that could have easily made it an absolute superstar. It’s a Chromebook that really does hit high points in many respects, but the few spots […]
Continue ReadingNew Chromebook ‘Xol’ emerges with an Assistant Key built in
I know, I know: it’s basically impossible not to draw a few conclusions from that headline. I’m fighting the same instincts as I write these words, but I can’t deny what I’ve stumbled upon this morning, and I can’t 100% tell you that what we’re all thinking isn’t true. But I also don’t have proof […]
Continue ReadingIf I didn’t run a Chromebook website, I’d still use a Chromebook
Is that title up there a given? Of course I’m going to say that I would use a Chromebook with or without Chrome Unboxed being a thing. But I’d bet some of you wonder to yourself whether or not I really, truly value Google’s Chromebook hardware enough to keep using it if I didn’t make […]
Continue ReadingThe best all-around Chromebook Plus model is only $369 right now
There are quite a few of the new, branded Chromebook Plus models that are great to use. Even the simpler, more cost-effective models like the Acer Chromebook Plus 515 I’ve been using of late makes for a pretty solid device. But there is one of these new devices that stands out – in my mind, […]
Continue ReadingFinally, Google adds a ‘select all’ toggle to Gmail for Android
In a move that is so overdue that most of us forgot all about it, Google has finally added a simple ‘select all’ toggle in the Gmail app for Android that is now widely rolling out. I know, you’re likely thinking to yourself, “This wasn’t a thing, yet?” And other than the fact that this […]
Continue ReadingMy favorite Chromebook, the Acer 516 GE, can be had for just $299 refurbished
A couple weeks ago, we talked about the surprising fact that Target has a whole collection of manufacturer refurbished Chromebooks on their website. How long this has been a thing and how many they actually sell through this channel is a bit of a mystery, but the deals that can be had are pretty great […]
Continue ReadingTarget has some shocking prices on manufacturer refurbished Chromebook Plus devices
While I like a lot of things you can get at Target (and I absolutely love their men’s line of All In Motion clothing I wear often, including right now), it’s not a store I generally think to point people to when they are looking for a Chromebook. Target’s Chromebook selection has always trended towards […]
