On just about a daily basis, I check the Samsung Chromebook Pro to see if “Crostini” has finally been enabled to bring me the new evolution of Linux app support. Sadly, I have been disappointed at every attempt. For good reason, the Kaby Lake generation of processors from Intel has been at the center of […]

I’m the proud dad of a beautiful four-year-old girl and despite the fact that she can be as hard-headed as me at times, she is the apple of my eye and has me wrapped around her little finger. Like most kids her age, somewhere along the way she learned a little song by the name […]

It’s easy to get excited about the “next big thing” in Chrome OS. Styli, detachables and tablets. (Oh My!) These things are fabulous and we love them. But, latest and greatest do not an ecosystem make.

Earlier this week, rather discretely, Intel launched the their 7th generation Core processor Kaby Lake. Along with it came its Atom counterpart, Apollo Lake. The coverage of Intel’s announcement has been nominal at best. Undoubtedly due, in part, to the fact that this is now the second generation of processors produced in place of Intel’s fabled 10nm […]

We reported on this last year after a report revealed that Google was in the process of creating or […]
Continue ReadingSeriously, affordable Chromebooks are getting really good [VIDEO]
Once upon a time, there was a relativley large divide between large and small-core Intel-based Chromebooks. Up to just a couple years ago, small-core Intel devices with Braswell or Apollo Lake chips were really hard to recommend to just about anyone. With cheap build quality, cheap components, and painfully slow performance, I even disliked the […]

Scheduled for Tuesday this week, Chrome OS 90 arrived with some cool new features that we’ve been tracking for some time. […]

The state of Chromebook inventories hasn’t improved over the past few weeks and unfortunately, it will likely remain this way well into the fall. That said, we’re checking daily for devices to land back on shelves so that we can alert our readers when a Chromebook is actually available again. What’s more, we want to […]
