A Space for All Things Chrome, Google, and More!
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, […]

It’s not just one thing, but a series of aggravations that have bristled me against the move and I’ve not shied away from making my feelings pretty clear about it. I don’t hate […]
Tomorrow morning, we should be unboxing our shiny new Chromecast w/ Google TV. We have yet to lay hands on the new streamer but we all agree that this will be the greatest thing to happen to the Chromecast since, well, it came into existence. I mean, what’s not to love? We’re going to get […]

Blurred backgrounds, noise cancellation, grid view and more have all made appearances on various platforms like Zoom and Google Meet. One particular […]
Google’s cloud gaming platform is becoming relentless in its approach to releasing new content. Love it or hate it, they’re starting to make more frequent game announcements and despite its youth, Stadia is showing that it wants to become a major player in its space.
