I have been waiting for more than a year and a half to write this article. It seems like a lifetime ago since I penned my theory about what Google was doing with containers and Chrome OS. Since then, the Crostini Project has brought Linux apps to millions of Chromebooks and in doing so, opened […]

More features help confirm ‘Kohaku’ will be the new Samsung Chromebook Pro V2
Since we came across ‘Kohaku’ a few months back, we’ve been pretty confident that this would be a Samsung-built Chromebook and would likely be the successor to the very-important Samsung Chromebook Pro that arrived at CES in January of 2017. With Samsung emails all over the commits, we also uncovered a handful of other pieces […]
Continue ReadingConfirmed: The Core M7 Samsung Chromebook Pro Is Real
Nearly two years ago, benchmarks of a mysterious Samsung Chromebook Pro popped up on GFXBench. Now, we know that a lot of online benchmark results are often synthesized. However, a week after the discovery a Google search result revealed a sponsored ad from Samsung that pointed to a very similar, unreleased Chromebook. The device in […]

This week on The Chrome Cast, we spend a good bit of time talking about the present and future of gaming on Chromebooks. As Stadia continues looming over the future, there are already a few games for Chromebooks that are taking full advantage of the Chromebook form factor and all it brings to the table. […]
Continue ReadingMore Proof ‘Kohaku’ Will Be The Samsung Chromebook Pro V2
Of all the Chromebooks in development right now (and there are many), few captivate my attention quite like the one codenamed ‘Kohaku’. As Gabriel made a solid case back in April that ‘Kohaku’ looks to be the sequel to Samsung’s Chromebook Pro that debuted over 2 years ago. That assumption was based mainly on emails […]

Samsung has started to make some serious waves in the Chrome OS arena since the launch of the flagship Chromebooks Pro and Plus nearly a year and a half ago. Recently, we saw the unexpected arrival of Version 2 of Chromebook Plus and just last week an even more confounding “refresh” of the aging Chromebook […]
Continue ReadingSamsung Chromebook Pro Finally Gets Chrome OS 65
As we distance ourselves each and every update from the inception of Android apps on Chromebooks, update patterns continue to stabilize across the growing army of Chromebooks available to consumers. Just 6 months ago, we were seeing very erratic update patterns across the ecosystem, and with Chrome OS 65, most of that flakiness has gone […]

It’s been more than a year since Samsung took the stage at CES 2017 and announced the Chromebooks that, for all intents and purposes, fostered the new generation of Chrome OS devices. If you had told me last month that I’d be writing this article on a lazy Sunday morning in mid-April of 2018, I […]

Chrome OS 64 isn’t a new revelation in any way, shape or form. As a matter of fact, it came out just over 5 weeks ago at this point. Those of you doing the math have calculated correctly if you’ve deduced that we likely only have a week left before Chrome OS 65 rolls out.

Amidst the chaos that is “Meltdown” and “Spectre,” Google has released an official statement about the status of the vulnerability as it pertains to their many products and platforms. Thankfully, the majority of Chromebook users are already protected by steps implemented in version 63 of Chrome OS. A number of readers have inquired here and across the […]

We reported on pinch zoom being worked on for four Chromebooks back in August: The 2015 Chromebook Pixel, Samsung Chromebook Pro, Plus, and the Pixelbook (known as ‘Eve’ at the time). Since that time, we’ve not really had much movement on this feature and, to be honest, somewhat forgot about it. From time to time, […]
Continue ReadingGoogle Pixelbook vs. Samsung Chromebook Pro
Arguably the most-requested comparison we’ve ever had is between the Samsung Chromebook Pro and the newly-released Pixelbook. For good reason, these two devices make a very, very interesting comparison. With their similar screens, fast internals and dedicated pens, a comparison video was not only likely; it was inevitable.
